Faith is an abstract concept. Many great thinkers have tried to figure it out. No one has been successful in deciphering this idea that drives the world. “Faith makes all things possible…” and “To follow by faith alone is to follow blindly.” are quotes by Dwight L. Moody and Benjamin Franklin, respectively. The quotes show what these people think of faith. Whether Moody or Franklin is right, faith is an important part of everyone’s lives.
The sun, and staying alive are two things that most people seem to have faith in. People have faith that the sun will rise and that they will live to see tomorrow. Some may claim that it is not faith but applying previous knowledge, which if that is so, why do they smile at a beautiful sun rise or hug their loved ones in the morning? If they know that they will always be able to do it, why do it now? The truth is if no one had faith, everyone would live in fear of something happening or not happening. The world would be chaotic. People jumping at every noise or breathing a sigh of relief as the sun rises. Every single persons would be afraid. Fear is not something to live in but faith is.
Though some people scorn it and others live it, faith exists in all of us, whether we like it or not. Even though no one knows about faith for sure, we can believe in its power. Those who do not have faith in faith will live in fear. Those who know of faith will try to achieve it. Those who have faith will live. No one can claim that they know faith completely but everyone can claim that they have faith.
