Do We Understand That Faith Is Trust In The Unseen?
Do We Understand That Faith Is Trust In The Unseen?
One might say that every simple person is inclined to trust another. Yes, but the difference between the wise person who trusts bravely and the simple person who trusts readily is great. The wise man who trusts, if he/she is influenced by another that he/she may not, or must not, trust a certain person, even if he/she is given a certain proof, even then that habit of trusting will remain with him.
He taught trust in the omnipotent beneficence of God and proclaimed that faith was the act by which men earned God's favor. ~ The Urantia Book, (92:4.7).
As to the simple man, as soon as anyone says, "Oh, what are you doing, you trust somebody who is not trustworthy", his/her trust will change. That is the difference between the wise and the foolish person. The wise person trusts because he knows that to trust is the best.
2 Corinthians 3:4-6 “And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward: Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.”
May the universe perfect that which concerns us, That’s for sure!
Amen.
