Every man lives in a state of faith.
But you might say only the religious, those that believe in God, a higher power, etc live in a state of faith. But I would reason that every man, atheist or christian, has faith in what he may not know. Men that believe in eternal life are criticized for a "blind faith" into that which they do not know. But may I also add that men that argue that life ends at the grave, that God and eternal life do not exist must also exercise faith in their belief? Can we know for a fact, in man's limited knowledge of the workings of our universe, that life must cease when our bodies do? That would require all knowledge, scientific proof...proof that we do not have.
Christians, on the other hand, have proof. We have a witness that have been to the grave and back, who holds eternal life. The very resurrection of Christ proves this and the reality is that there is life beyond the grave. It sets the kingship of the Lord Jesus Christ apart from any other in all of history. No other man, moral or not, has risen from his death and then offered that to his followers. This is the good news for all of mankind. Faith is simply the position in which you have found yourself, whether with the Lord God Almighty or without Him. Either way its your choice. It's your declaration of faith. Where does your faith lie? In the Truth.. or in Darkness?
