Faith is things hoped for Now faith is the substance of things hoped for; the evidence of things not seen. Those things we can see and have knowledge of are part of our experience while those things we can’t see we must accept in faith: Material things are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal
Every day, we unconsciously exhibit faith; driving our car, crossing a bridge, flying on an airplane as well as many other things; we have faith in their safety and trustworthiness. It is in faith of our belief that we are able to reduce fear and anxiety to acceptable levels. While we believe something is going to work we still must have trust and have faith in its validity.
Science bends truth Science tends to reduce faith to understanding while not explaining human confidence. If we are to know the spiritual value of faith, then, within our mind, we must practice its acceptance, Wherever anything enters our thought that refutes the reality of our belief then, in complete confidence, we must clarify to ourselves the reason this destructive thought of doubt has no power; you will find that the explanation are in the cure.
All reasoning’s are built upon the belief, the convention, the faith that we are living in a spiritual world and everything is subject to certain laws. All discord stems from a misunderstanding or misdirection of this profound principle. While discord is a denial of truth it in no way changes its reality.
Our experiences validate reality In order to experience accord (good) there also must be the possibility of discord (evil). At one time mankind believed the world was flat but this belief didn’t make it a reality. Truth is always truth no matter how many people believe differently. Here is where caution comes in. Believe only in truth.
The big problem in the world of today is, what is truth? Every day truth is stretched a little farther, a little tighter until one day it will lash back. and cripple the very society that preached its importance. Two times two is always four. If a architect started building a building on the assumption that two times two equals five, in using this wrong calculation, the further along the building got, the farther off the measurements would be. Ignorance never changes the laws of nature, but it does restrict our use of them.
The Importance of faith I can’t stress enough, we must acquire an energizing faith. We must practice mental and spiritual enthusiasm, every day, in every situation. We can never be too careful to remember this, or too be clear in affirming it. A reviving faith is the realized belief which gives validity to the law.
Belief turned into cause in one of the most powerful forces on earth. People are willing to die for a cause they feel strongly about. It is faith that propels the mind into such a strong belief and action. Without faith the mind can’t focus, it becomes confused and anxious withdrawing in fear. It doesn’t know what to believe in or have faith in, it will cower into a self made prison.
