"信仰によって生きることは、臆病な自己保存以上の何かに呼ばれることを含みます。"
— J.R.R. Tolkien
Simplified Meaning:
Being truly faithful means doing more than just trying to keep yourself safe all the time. Imagine a firefighter who faces dangerous situations to save others; they do not just hide and protect themselves because their duty is greater. Similarly, faith often requires stepping out of your comfort zone to help others or stand up for what you believe in, even if it's scary. For example, someone might stand up against bullying at school, even though it might make them a target too. This shows courage and a willingness to do the right thing, inspired by faith. To live by faith, we need to be brave and sometimes take risks, rather than always choosing the safest and easiest path.
