Nicholas Van Deventer - "Faith"

The bible tells us without faith it is impossible to please God and that faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. In a rudimentary way faith can be explained as "trust in action". For instance, people get on airplanes, cross bridges, and eat at new restaurants, all because they have a certain level of trust or faith that the plane will fly safely, the bridge will hold their weight, or the food will be safe to eat. This demonstrates that having faith—confiding in something uncertain but necessary or desirable—is a common human experience.
