Faith

What is Faith?

Faith is something one "believes in". It serves a major evolutionary purpose and has been an essential part of human nature since time immemorial. When shared by members of a group, faith strongly supports that group's internal cohesion. It strengthens the group's capacity to to cope with the challenges of a hostile environment. It adds to the group's capacity to compete successfully with other groups animated by different faiths.

There are many demonstrations in the historical record of how this principle has worked in practice. Look, for example, at the efflorescence of human society in the Middle East in the several centuries after the beginning of Islam. Islam's sytem of beliefs provided a unifying force that permitted large numbers of converts to work together to accomplish historical achievements that would not have happened if Islam had never begun. Faith, when shared by large numbers of people, turns a group of aimless, discontented individuals into a purposeful, powerful force.

Faith is a belief in something and it can help strenghen a persons action,but faith isnt fact it is hope.To believe that Faith is realty and truth is a dangerous ideas.

The Christian faith has existed since the time that Jesus Christ was on earth. Followers of Jesus have had different understandings about many things, but all true Christians agree that Jesus Christ is a revelation of God in the flesh. We all believe that God came to earth to bring us back into a relationship with Himself.

The Christian faith is really about faith in the resurrected Jesus, who did all this and more for us. Jesus of Nazareth, who lived historically on the earth 2000 years ago, made a definite impact on the people of Israel through his teaching and healing ministry. But it is his resurrection and continued intervention in the lives of His followers that has meant that today He has hundreds of millions who believe in Him and trust Him. Today the Holy Spirit is working all over the earth to reveal Jesus to people in different ways, primarily through the Scriptures of the Holy Bible as they are preached and read.
