D A New Definition of Faith Three months ago, I was a person who only thought of one religion that I have known about since I was born. However, everything has changed after I involve myself into a bible class of Christian, which I had no ideas about. During this semester, I have learned a lot of thing about Christian, so my definition of faith has changed a lot through out the class. Basely, I used to think of faith in a way that when people believe in someone who can protect them from trouble, who can save them from illness, and give them a better life. However, everything has changed in the life time, now faith for me is also when you believe in someone who doesnt only can protect you from sin, give you a right to live in a good life; but also who can teach you to life in a right way, and train you to become a good person. Faith in Christian is when someone believe in the existence of God, who created the universe, and trust in the redeeming grace of Christ, the Son of the living God, who died for the sins of the human type, although can still find some differences in the different ideologies of the Christian community. Faith is the knowledge by which people participate in absolute truth of God. Faith is the gift of theological perception whereby a person can believe that what God has revealed are true. Not because that is the truth in the light of reason, but because this is the world of God, who reveals the truth because God is there and not gotten one and everyone cannot be defrauded. Through faith, Christians know the truth with certainty. Thanks to that truth, people know where I will be going. The truth that makes people be truly free. Yet Jesus said: "If the faithful to the word of God you will make a disciple of mine, you will know the truth and the truth will liberate you." In addition, through out these ten commandment, I believe that the goal of God when he created the world that he always wants people to be living in the world, which has no sin and people know how to thankful to their parents, respect to their partner, and honest to everything around them. In terms of virtue, the message is a theological virtue by God endowed human beings, making our application to explicitly recognize the truth and all that God speaks to people know through the communication and teaching Church magisterium. We can see here, believe is that human actions coupled with the gift of God but we can vacuum to get the real truth, or to receive a human being, human beings that no one other than Jesus Christ who is the true God, true man. Therefore, the message is the response to my call loving of God and the object of faith is God. In conclusion, God is not the judge or the police shall always lurk to punish people. However, God is a loving Father who always protects children, and he also wants to let his children feel the warmth from his love. He is the center of our life, of the Committee, as St. Paul said, "for me to live is Christ" [7]. Finally, taking this course is a good chance for me to know more about another religion; it also gives me a thought of different respecting of faith.
