INSIGHTS INTO FAITH


Faith is confidence or trust in a person, thing, or concept. In the context of religion, faith is "belief in God or in the doctrines or teachings of religion".

       Faith is also an inner attitude, conviction, or trust relating human beings to a supreme God or ultimate salvation. In religious traditions stressing divine grace, it is the inner certainty or attitude of love granted by God. Hebrews 11:1 – “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen …

       Before i move further I would like to differentiate between belief and faith. Most people say this that when we believe we have faith but it doesn't work that way. For example;

Our beliefs are things we take to be true based on our logic and experiences. If we learn new information, our beliefs can change. For example, if we believe that it will rain on a given day, but the day comes and the skies are clear, then we will probably change our belief that it will rain.

Faith is a different thing entirely. “It’s commonplace to treat belief and faith as synonyms . . . but there are important differences,”. Faith involves reliance and trust, and it endures in the face of doubts, whereas belief is simply something we take to be true. “I can have faith in things or people without a corresponding belief, and I can believe things that I don’t have faith in.

This doesn’t mean that faith and belief are mutually exclusive or irreconcilable; faith is often accompanied by belief. “For instance, one who has faith in God may also hold the belief that God exists. But one can have faith without the corresponding.You can believe in something without having faith, but you cannot have faith without belief.

        What are the three types of faith in the epistles?

What’s their impact on a believer’s spiritual journey? 

Really, to grow into all of God’s plans, it is important to take note of these three levels of faith.
