In the helpful letter Paul wrote to the Christians in Corinth he mentioned the three lines on God's monitors that indicate the absence of life. But the greatest of these is love. Faith, hope and love produce abundant life living and save us from becoming the walking dead. I. Faith Gives Us The Capacity to Enjoy the Abundant Life. Without the gift of faith you may not be able to live very long.
Faith is the capacity to believe without proof.
Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. I have faith in that unknown driver that she will stay on her side of the road. Without the capacity to trust I would not dare ride in a vehicle that could not withstand a head-on collision with a freight train. When I purchase food I have faith in the producers ability to keep their food free of deadly virus and germs. I have faith in my druggist that he will fill my prescription with what the doctor meant by the scribble marks on the prescription pad.
