This Faith

1 Corinthians 2:7 English Standard Version (ESV) But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God, which God decreed before the ages for our glory.

A bold comment was laid out yesterday dealing with how to run an experiment to discover what existed before time began. Faith was chosen to run the experiment and it should be challenged as being the one source of proof. How does anyone know testing faith will be able to find the answer?

To impart secrets and wisdom of God one must first have them. In order to know that faith is the delivery vehicle for this experiment one must first have it. One cannot impart what one does not have.

The simple answer is that faith is given to all mankind. It is not withheld from anyone. If we are to experiment with faith, then we shall use our own faith to be tested. It is not that we have faith that provides proof, it is where we place our faith.

To say that faith is belief sells faith short. I believe the brakes on my car are good. I test faith every time I drive my car. What happens when my brakes fail and I am in an accident? Was I wrong to put my faith in those brakes? Some might argue that isn’t faith, it is trust. If that is true how do we define faith if it is more than belief and more that trust?

Testing faith is very similar to testing brakes. You have to put it in motion in order to get results. So how do we put faith in motion? First we must find the purpose behind faith if all are given faith and where we place our faith determines its usefulness.

Study faith to see its connections. Nowhere in all the libraries of the world is faith spoken about more than in the Holy Bible. We have to study the bible to see what faith does. Then we can test it.
