What Is Faith? Jesus Christ: God’s Love Made Visible, Second Edition Unit 5, Chapter 13 Document#: TX004819

Faith Faith is the theological virtue that enables us to accept God’s revealed truth. It allows us to be in union with him in our mind and heart. Faith is the surrendering of our whole selves—mind, heart, and spirit—to God’s saving love. © BBG019 / iStockphoto.com

Faith and Religion Are Inseparable Religion is the practice of prayer, worship, service, and shared beliefs. Religion results from surrendering ourselves to God’s love. Faith and religion: we cannot truly have one without the other. © Francesco Dazzi / Shutterstock.com

Religion: Worship and Adoration Worship of God is a key component of religion. When we truly adore God, we acknowledge him as Savior and Creator. We recall that every blessing we enjoy is a gracious gift from God. © Vasileios Economou / iStockphoto.com

Religion: Service and Sacrifice Religious practices include service offered on behalf of our neighbor. We sacrifice our time, money, or other resources for the good of others. © liquidmachine / iStockphoto.com

Faith: A Gift from God Faith is a supernatural gift that God freely offers to us. None of us can maintain faith on our own. Divine grace and the help of the Holy Spirit make our faith possible. © Symbiont / iStockphoto.com

Belief and Faith God invites us to believe in Revelation. Belief is only possible with the Holy Spirit’s help, but … we freely choose to accept or reject God’s invitation to believe. © david franklin / iStockphoto.com

The Obedience of Faith Through our faith we pay attention to Revelation... and humbly seek God’s will for our lives. © seechung / iStockphoto.com

Faith Needs Nourishment It is possible to lose the gift of faith if we do not nourish it and help it to grow. © stockcam / iStockphoto.com

Biblical Figures The Scriptures are filled with examples of people whose response to God’s Revelation inspires faith. Some responded with faith in difficult circumstances. Others made great sacrifices to surrender to God. © dlewis33 / iStockphoto.com

Saints and Martyrs The lives of the saints, some of whom were also martyrs, are a source of inspiration. They show us how to maintain and grow our faith. They teach us how to surrender our whole selves to the truth God has revealed. © andykazie / iStockphoto.com

We Respond through Discipleship God initiates a relationship with us through Revelation; we respond to God through faith. When we have faith in Jesus Christ, we become his disciples. © targovcom / iStockphoto.com

We Respond through Evangelization All disciples of Jesus have a common vocation. We are to be holy and to proclaim our faith in Jesus and the Gospel. We can witness to our faith through our words and deeds. © Tony Campbell / Shutterstock.com

The Theological Virtues A virtue is a good habit, a continual disposition to do good. The three theological virtues are faith, hope, and charity or love. These virtues enable us to live in relationship with the Blessed Trinity. © sivarock / iStockphoto.com
