 If we knew all about God and who He is, there wouldn’t be anything to hope and have faith in. We need the mystery of God so that through the course of our lives we can find out for ourselves who God is.  You don’t need to know everything! God wanted to keep himself a mystery for a purpose! If we were meant to know, we would know!

 When you first start to play softball, you don’t know anything about it, except maybe a few things that you have picked up along the way from others. Every practice you learn something new, eventually learning the game, but you can never stop improving. The same thing is true with your faith. You can come to know God through scripture and through other people’s actions, but never to the full extent.

Please play this first! And this second!

 This whole chapter talks about our faith in God. When we say that we believe in God, we are telling others that we believe in something that is not visible to us. How do we know that God is real then?

 In softball, the coach teaches you all he/she knows; it’s up to you to listen. If you do listen, you will play well in the game, if you don’t, you won’t improve. The same is with God, He won’t live your live for you, He’ll only give you the steps to improve yourself, just as a coach won’t play the game for you.
