He or she has thought through their faith. Faith and reason are not opposed, but build on one another to form a unity. Augustine remarked that faith is reason at rest in God . The author to the Hebrews mentions six things. First is repentance from dead works .
Repentance literally means a change of mind .
It s turning away from whatever is contrary to truth, righteousness, and life. And it involves a change of heart and mind which embraces God s word of truth and moral goodness. Second, is faith toward God or God-centeredness. One who lives by faith directs his or her life towards Christ and what Christ has accomplished for us in his saving death and resurrection. The third reference to ablutions likely refers to the rite of baptism.
