If we rely on anything else besides faith to maintain the practice of the presence of God, we will certainly fail, whether this is our feelings, or experiences, or sincerity, or good intentions, or reasonings, or plans. The reason these things will fail while faith will not fail is that all these things depend on us, while faith depends on God. It is a gift of God. Peter Kreeft
About This Quote

When it comes to the topic of faith, there are countless beliefs, opinions, and ideas that are offered. The reason these things are offered is because many people are trying to find the best way to live. They are looking for something to believe that will help them become closer to God. However, no matter how much research one does or how hard they try, they will not be able to find the answer. Only God can provide the truth about faith.
