"信仰とは神ができると信じることではない。それは神がしてくださると知っていることである。"
— Ben Stein
Simplified Meaning:
Faith means having complete confidence that something will happen, not just thinking it might happen. For example, imagine a friend promises to help you move to a new house. Believing that they can help is like recognizing that your friend is capable and strong enough to carry boxes. Knowing that they will help means you're sure they will show up and be there for you on moving day. In a religious context, this idea is about trust and certainty in God's actions. It's like being certain that God will take care of you, not just thinking God is powerful enough to do so. This level of faith gives people comfort and reassurance. In your life, if you have this kind of faith, you wouldn't just hope things work out; you would confidently expect positive outcomes because you trust deeply in the support and power behind you. It's a strong belief that turns hope into certainty, reducing worries and providing peace of mind.
