Understanding the True Nature of Faith

Faith, as understood in the context of Jesus's apprentices, encompasses a range of meanings including trust, belief, confidence, reliance, and faithfulness. It is not a blind leap into the dark but is defined as confidence grounded in reality, based on evidence and lived out as truth. Faith is not just a feeling or mental ascent, but an action that one either has or does not have. It is central to Christian spirituality and is a fundamental aspect of human existence, irrespective of religious beliefs. Acknowledging faith as a human experience, it is emphasized that we all live by faith, as it is essential for navigating everyday life.
