JUSTIFICATION

Heard a sharing from a friend how he, from being a Buddhist, was converted into a Christian. His walk was never smooth-sailing. In fact, it was filled with much struggles, conflicts and pain. But one thing he mentioned really kept me thinking. In the midst of his conversion, he came to a realisation that it was the great faith of the Christians that justified their faith. Interesting. In Hebrews 11:1, "Now faith is being sure of what you hope for and certain of what we do not see." Faith is never a tangible element. And there's no way one can use any tangible evidence or reasoning to fully prove its existence. Then am I contradicting my faith. Nope. Instead of saying that because of lack of tangible support of my faith and therefore concluding that my faith is not possible, I choose to hold on to the true essence of faith. Being sure of what I hope for and certain of what I do not see. I may not be able to reason why God works in certain, why God allows certain things to happen and why some things contradict with God but I guess that is not my primary task on earth. My primary role is to love God! And through loving God, I will be able to start to comprehend why some things are done in certain ways, why some things happen and why somethings happen which I simply have no answer to and yet I can feel secure because God is in control. And if we were able to have an answer for everything, who needs God!
So my point is when people question for our justification of our faith, we do not have to always have an answer. I think the best way to justify for our faith is through our action. Are we doing what we are preaching?
