ichnos: a track
Original Word: ἴχνος, ους, τό
Part of Speech: Noun, Neuter
Transliteration: ichnos
Phonetic Spelling: (ikh'-nos)
Short Definition: a track, footstep
Definition: a track, footstep.

2487 íxnos (from hikneomai, "move forward, arrive") – properly, the impression made by the sole of the foot ("foot-step"); (figuratively) the "footsteps" providing the needed example for others to follow, i.e. to live out "God's persuasions" (His inworkings of faith). Accordingly, faith (4102 /pístis) and "faith-steps" are directly connected in the NT.

Ro 4:12: "And the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also follow in the steps (2487xnos) of the (principle of) faith (4102 /pístis) of our father Abraham which he had while uncircumcised" (NASU).

[Note how the "principle of faith" is signaled by the Greek definite article. This refers to faith operating in a believer's life to reveal and empower God's preferred-will (cf. 2307 /thélēma). The Lord inbirths His persuasions for believers in every scene of life – if they seek Him for it. Compare Ro 10:6-8,17 with Ro 14:23.]
