Throughout history we have heard people talk about the Faith, many of us immerse ourselves in our work environments, forgetting where the faith in which we believe is, according to a study by Dr. George Comstock of John Hopkins University, mentions that fatal heart diseases among believers who attend a temple are fifty percent less frequent than among those who lack all kinds of faith. one
This is of great relevance that many of us do not allow ourselves to meditate on.
Main concept
- The word faith derives from the Latin term fides and allows to name what a person or a community believes in. It also refers to a sense of certainty and the positive concept that one has of an individual or of something, a belief in something without the need for it to have been confirmed by experience or reason, or demonstrated by science. two
Argumentation
"Faith" is an everyday word that people easily associate with the religious world. 3
However, not many could define it with certainty. How does the Bible define this concept? Does having faith really work? 4
In Hebrews 11: 1, the Bible defines this word as follows, "So faith is the assurance of what is hoped for, the conviction of what is not seen." 5 So, faith is the essence or certainty of something that we hope for and have not received; In a way, faith (assurance, conviction, trust) gives us evidence of what we cannot see - the spiritual and the invisible. Faith manifests itself before receiving an answer to a prayer or something that we have asked God because, once he gives it to us, faith is no longer necessary. 4 Other authors refer that faith is synonymous with conviction, it is knowing and being sure of what will come, of what will come into our lives. Many people relate faith only to belief in a God, but in reality, it goes much further.They also mention that it is the confidence that we will fulfill our dreams because we work for them, it is the confidence that we will always be happy because we do what we love. Faith is not waiting for everything to fall from the sky, but acting to make it happen. Faith is also related to disease prevention, as it relieves nostalgia and produces hormones that help to improve.
“We can find many opinions in relation to faith, depending on which point of view you take it, each one of their points of view draws my attention since sometimes we do not provide that emphasis, in a personal way Faith is to believe in that supreme being that is God the giver of everything, if I believe and have conviction I can obtain what is expected not for convenience but for love and the rest will come in addition ” Conclusion
I believe what Dr. George Comstock said in relation to faith, he adds that religious faith also acts as a preventive against some important diseases such as cancer, cirrhosis, tuberculosis and respiratory diseases, that is why every human being it has that value of faith that is very important for emotional survival.
