2. How does Faith relate to the world in which we live?

Faith itself is a heavy topic. The word gives away the undeniable, metaphysical sense of its nature. Faith requires trust, and trust is something that the people today fear. This reason may be because trust involves effort, or because faith is a topic where people have hard time relating it to their own lives. Faith is a subject which requires depth and understanding of one’s identity, which is very much apart from what the world requires today. Secular faith, on the other hand, seems different. An absolute contamination; the world defines faith to be more of “ignorance” than anything else. Christianity on the other hand, puts faith along with trust. The world itself is ignorant that they do not understand faith as a necessary component in survival, despicable that it enforces ignorance instead of the truth. People today do not realize that faith does not necessarily have to do with lack of knowledge. What do the media teach? “Buy this product, it’s good for you. Don’t ask why, it just is.” It is sly approach of indirectly requiring faith and dependence, to do the things that are somewhat unexplainable. The cause of this may differ for pleasure, maybe for existence. But it is never an excuse. The sinful nature of human polluted the only factor, which we can depend on to humanly exist. Faith is a blessing. Christian faith is apart from this disastrous infection because it is genuine to the core of its heart. The real definition of faith is determined as we approach today with connection to God. Understanding that the world does not give safety, taking the step to accept Christ, giving him the driver's seat, and finally realizing what sinners we are, makes up the ultimate and only metaphysical faith."Open the eyes of my heart lord. Open the eyes of my heart. I want to see you. I want to see you."Open the eyes of my heart Lord. To real faith.What exactly is having “faith”? In a way, faith is simple. The world is complex.
