Here is a red letter question in Luke. So often my answer comes up short. You?
Luke 8:25
He said to them, “Where is your faith?” And they were afraid, and they marveled, saying to one another, “Who then is this, that he commands even winds and water, and they obey him?”
The disciples grew in their understanding about Jesus gradually, as do we! The greater our biblical knowledge the greater will be our faith. Our sins are the result of inadequate and erroneous education about God. Faith grows and we cannot wait for absolute certainty. @larrygrowe
Beliefs are faiths beyond debate. Faith is about trust and hope, not certainties and convictions. With patience, time, learning, and experience faith ascends to belief, to knowing. Spirituality is patient trust! Trust trumps fear!
