Faith is believing and trusting in something greater than yourself. I know that our faith in mankind has been tested beyond the point of trust. Many times, our faith begins to wane. It is because of the horrible things we see what people do to each other. We didn’t start out being faithless. We had hope of a bright and wonderful world. We wanted everything to work out right. We believed that things would correct itself so our faith would be justified. If you look at the situation with man, you have to look at how we started out. Why does a baby know how to lie, steal and cheat? You would think that a proper upbringing would correct those defects in man. But it doesn’t. Man is born corrupt with sin. Only God can change the heart of man. There is no hope that man can be disciplined, educated or made to change into a non-corrupt human. The only way is through God Himself. When we ask for forgiveness and walk with God, things will change in our lives. God will begin to change our heart into His image and likeness. This is where our faith is renewed and we begin to trust again. We understand that through faith the worlds were made by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
