About This Quote
Faith is a state of being that many people have found in Christianity. In the Christian religion, faith is the belief in God and God’s power to do anything. Also, faith is a willingness to do or receive anything for the love of God. Faith also means being persistent in doing good things for someone else.
For example, if a person has faith, he will have a great deal of trust that God will come through in his or her time of need. The idea is that you need to have the strength to believe in something greater than yourself when times get tough. It also means you can believe in someone else when they are not around, much like when you leave your keys in your car when you go shopping and come back to find them missing.
Faith in God or faith in a person is a very powerful thing.
