I belief "faith" is a gift from God, a growing understanding of the way things really are, the way He sees them. The more we accept it, and choose to act according to it, He blesses us with more. This slow release, dependent upon our genuine acceptance (as demonstrated by our actions) preserves our agency so the purpose of this life which is to allow us to choose who we want to become, is maintained. Also, if we were given too much, without the slow growth, and reject it, it would throw a terrible wrench into our development.Having spiritual/religious faith is to believe in the unseen and faith in the teaching that what is told as wisdom is the truth, even before one see it.
Any thoughts?
Eventually, as we continue to follow the light God gives us, we will know as we are known (1 Cor 13:12).
