What is Faith?
Monday, August 29, 2005

When we are not in any circumstances where our fate is questionable, it is so easy to say our faith is on Christ. But what does that mean? One can really appreciate it or test what we really mean it is when our fate to some circumstances is questionable.

In most such cases, we would very much cry out to God, and call for help. Of course, we ask for his will to be done, but actually back in our mind, we hope that his will is our want. And honesty, it doesn't matter what happen to God's will, just so that is according to what we hope it is our benefit at the moment.

Yes, we don't verbalise it or even dare say it, but the fact that we still worry after praying, mean alot about what we actually feel. The issue then goes to one thing...so what is faith?

Is faith according what we desire to be? That when we pray, we have faith that God will do it. So what if God did not, should we then blame God? Is our faith just that desire away? or that we should have "more" faith? And if we do, would "more" mean we will get what we ask for?

Faith goes from the initial point, where we ask ourselves if we have faith that Christ is our saviour. If we do, then we chose ask Christ to come to our life. Is it because we believe more that we become a Christian? No, if not what does it mean if we believe less? There is no more or less, just simple humble faith.

So what happen when such circumstances come along the way? What God going to do, does it change anything of him dying on the cross? No.

But one thing for sure. If God is to die for us, would he make you "die" this time round? So when we say that even if it did not turn out according to what we hope to be, God will still be with us, is not a consoling words but it is the true.

We can then conclude one thing about Faith, Faith is regardless off...why, because Faith is only because of Christ. What ever else doesn't matter, as having faith that Christ save us, supersede anything else that happen now. It just doesn't matter anymore.

Hard to accept? It is in such time, we know if we really have faith that Christ die for us.
