Our own personal conversion and faith.
Understanding.
Faith is the supernatural virtue necessary for salvation, a free gift of God, and accessible to all who humbly seek it.
The act of faith is a human act prompted by the will moved by God, where a person freely assents to divine truth.
Faith works through charity (Galatians 5:6) and continually grows through listening to the Word of God and prayer.
Certainty beyond human conviction.
The more one knows God, the more one wants to know, love, and be with God.
A belief in someone, a belief in what the Creed points to, the reality behind the words.
Man responds to God with the obedience of faith, which means the full surrender of ourselves to God and the acceptance of his truth.
Encounter the Living God, love, and come to know God Himself.
Proselytism is forceful and manipulative, while true evangelization invites a person into the gift of faith freely for the sake of love.
Freedom.
It means to adhere to God himself, entrusting oneself to him and giving assent to all the truths which God has revealed because God is Truth.
A completely free response on our part.
It brings certainty to a whole new level.
A personal invitation of 'Someone' to be in relationship with Him, an invitation to respond to God with all our heart and mind.
There is no contradiction between faith and science because both originate in God, who gives us the light of reason and faith.
A forceful and manipulative way of convincing someone to be a Christian.
No, they are 100% compatible with each other.
It means to believe in one God in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Being 'obedient' to the Voice of God out of love and by our own free will.
As certain, meaning we know.
The free choice of the individual to believe because they believe, and because it was the Holy Spirit speaking to their soul revealing the truths of faith.
