To those who have asked this question:
“This is what faith is – it is personally knowing Christ; it is understanding who he is and what he has done for us in such a way that we put all our trust and reliance in him.”
It’s not blind hope, Â wishful thinking or just a comfort blanket. It’s real and it comes through knowing Christ and through understanding. It’s not unattainable.
Try reading an account of Jesus’ life and see for yourself who he is.
Even if you’re already a Christian and just feel like you’re lacking faith: read a gospel and pray that God would help you to see the truth of who he is again.
Don’t hope for a mystical experience, just open your eyes and see Jesus.
