Belief in the possibility of something yet experienced which leads to work or effort. This belief is not unfounded but rather the result of
confirming evidence, including the trusted words of others.
All people act in accordance with their faith and continually
adjust their faith according to the resulting evidence.
In reading these words of the Talmud "
Goodwill is the mightiest
practical FORCE in the Universe" John feels that the message is true and decides to stop being angry. He has faith that his world will be better by this change he's making.
Pretending to have faith, out of
laziness or fear, is not evidence of faith, but rather the lack thereof.
