Religion And Faith: What Is The Basis Of Faith?

The more one knows the more one questions ones faith; but faith is intrinsic in humans, just as the ability to love. If we can love, then we can believe. Every individual has a different answer to the question “what is the basis of faith?” some would say it is Christ, others, the Bible, God, angels, etc. and some may even reject faith as a whole. However, if the basis of faith is Christ, why do so many individuals struggle to accept His truth, His word, and His evidences? If the basis of faith is the Bible, what does one do when they find out that there have been additions and subtractions to the Bible through out the years? And above all one many ask oneself: What Bible, if we have so many? If the basis of faith is God, why can His existence

Many non-believers observe religion and faith as a primary and intuitive impulse on which the believer is pushed to believe through an ideological tradition; tradition that results from the programming of a religious dogma implanted in the thought of a believer. It is a strong thought that projects a highly decisive conviction and determination.

As Hebrews 11:6 says it is impossible to please God without faith, as “for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.” A major way in which individuals make religious faith personal is through experiencing salvation. Acts 16:31 say that if you believe in the Lord Jesus you will be saved. A great biblical example of this is Noah as through faith he “believed” and “acted” upon Gods word- “By faith Noah, being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen, in reverent fear constructed an arc for the saving of his household. By this he condemned the word and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith” (Hebrews 11:7). Salvation is an experience, and now day’s individuals base faith upon experience. They base faith on the absolute certainty of the existence of God, beyond all though. As they experience a hardship God works
