Faith: Blind Believing

So diving into the fruit of faith, there a couple of things to point out. Faith, essentially, is one thing. But it can be divided among things that make it kind of different. There is a faith in the way you trust a chair to hold you up when you sit on it, or faith in the shower to give you water. Then there is a faith in people. Believing that someone will be there for you, or that they won’t lie to you, or cheat on you. This faith can be a faith in God as well. We believe that God will be there for us, because he says he will. Faith that he will care for us and never forsake us.

But then there is a completely blind faith in believing that God is real. This is the faith we have to have before we can have the faith that he’ll help us, because if we don’t believe that he even exist, then how can we believe that he loves us.This is the kind of faith that takes a bit of leap. Once we have this faith, then the faith in him has to begin. Believing that he’ll do as he has promised to do.

We live by faith, not by sight. 2 Corinthians 5:7
