A man was chased off a cliff by a tiger. He fell, and just
managed to hold onto a branch. Six feet above him stood the tiger, snarling. A
hundred feet below, a violent sea lashed fierce-looking rocks. To his horror,
he noticed that the branch he was clutching was being gnawed at its roots by
two rats. Seeing he was doomed, he cried out, "O God, save me!"
FAITH IS NOT IN BELIEF
He heard a Voice reply, "Of course, I will save you.
But first, let go of the branch!"
We believe in God but that doesn't mean we have Faith in
God.
Belief is of the mind and Faith is of the being.
Belief belongs to the realm of concepts and systems, whereas
Faith is one's immediate experience.
Faith is existential and experiential
FAITH IS NOT IN BELIEF
