Faith…is a concern of the whole person; it is the most personal concern, and that which determines all others. …it is not something which we can produce by the will to believe, but that by which we are grasped.

About This Quote

Faith is one of the most important aspects of religion. Without faith, we could not be a part of a church and we would not have the opportunity to see God. As humans we are constantly striving for perfection and we need faith to help us rise above our shortcomings and weaknesses and try and reach perfection. Once we do reach perfection, we must continue striving for that ideal.
