What is Faith?

A lot of people say that faith is believing in something you don't see. If faith is that simple ghosts and aliens are good objects of faith.

Obviously they are not. Faith has always been connected to a Higher Being who is able to do things in His/Her bidding. A thief, for example, prays in faith that the housekeeper will be sound asleep when he steals a valuable item. A cancer patient prays in faith that his life be taken and so his suffering can also end. A preacher prays in faith that all those who believe in his preaching will be blessed. Sounds familiar?

Yes, those are good examples of faith as faith can be overly simplified. Faith is the consistency of all beliefs that are parallel to actions. I have faith in a Higher Being and I call him God. I have faith that Jesus Christ is God because in faith he is the most unique human being who ever lived. In faith I believe that he is the only One who conquered the timeline set for every created thing; having been risen from the dead. In faith I believe that the prophets long before Jesus Christ wrote about him and those writings came to pass. I believe in faith that this may not be the TRUTH.

That is the summary of my faith in God and Jesus Christ. In this lifetime it is impossible to determine what is the TRUTH. Every one has this unresolved question that only death can answer. Unfortunately, no one from the dead spoke about it. They are still silent until now. Jesus Christ did not speak about the TRUTH in his resurrected life. He just promised that there is a better world waiting for those who have faith.

In my next post I will give my version of the TRUTH. For a quick look you can read the Purpose Driven Life found here: http://www.purposedrivenlife.com/en-US/Home/home.htm However, I have my own answers to those questions which are not in agreement to it.
