Man and faith in God
Keywords:
trust in God, holiness, religious faithAbstract
Every person believes in someone or something. We differ in that the faith of some is rational, and the faith of others is naive. To believe in God is to believe not only in His existence, but also in the fact that He is our friend who understands, loves and teaches us to love. A person of mature faith trusts God more than other people and themselves. The main obstacle to faith is not intellectual difficulties, but a way of acting that is inconsistent with one’s conscience and human dignity. The fruit of mature faith is constant conversion and holiness, i.e. remaining in triple love: for God, for oneself and for one’s neighbor.
