Faith? Is it conjured up in the recess of the mind or does it have it's birth in the heart?
One mysn't forget that we as recievers of the gift can only recieve what is given and to the amount it is given. Consequently a definition of faith based on foreknowledge is not faith but simple expectation ex
I walked yesterday so I have faith I will walk today and tomorrow).
True faith on the other hand is the hope for something not seen.Living spiritual faith is simply living (not putting for putting is an inward movement) a life based on a hoped for resolution.
All to often we define our understanding based on another understanding, ex: dictionaries, Thesaurses, Encyclopedia etc. etc.
Logic by itself gives definition to faith but as individuals we tend to apply specific meaning to a word without rendering like abilities to others.
To me FAITH is hope AND trust. (I do not need to see to believe)
To you or another, Faith is recognition that the past fortells the future.(you/they must have reassurance for comparison).
I read the
Holy Word of GOD (my understanding based on my faith) and I accept it as true.
You/they read the Bible and try to prove yea or nay.
