Recommended: Importance of believing in god

Love is a variety of different feelings and states. It offers an emotion of a strong attraction and personal attachment. There are quite a few things I love. Two things that are very important to me are being happy and having faith. To me, having faith means believing that you can overcome whatever obstacle you are faced with. Without having faith, I believe you cannot accomplish anything. Sometimes life throws unwanted things and you may feel as if you may as well give up on everything. Stress, anxiety, and fear could ruin you if you have no higher power to look on too. Without faith, you can’t simply get out of bed in the morning, pass a test, or even get a job. (speaking out of humor) If you don’t believe, you won't do it. Keeping faith

  • Common Misunderstandings Of Faith By Terrence W. Tilley

    1077 Words  | 3 Pages

    If you were to take a survey on views of faith, you would come up with a million different definitions. To me, faith is taking risks in situations where there is no fear of the outcome. Faith is confidence, sureness, and bravery. If you have no faith, then you have no reason to go out in the world and survive. Faith is also a positive mindset and energy you embody. According to the book, “What is Faith?”, the author, Terrence W. Tilley feels that faith is a relationship between the one who has faith and the irreducible energizing source of meaning and center of value in one’s life. In the definition, “One” means the object of faith and the relationship between them. He takes the concept of faith from a late writer, David Foster Wallace, to key point his argument in the book. Wallace’s concept was that we don’t understand what faith is and how faith shapes the course of our lives. Tilley supports his claim by discussing the common misunderstandings of faith.

  • Understanding and Trusting the Truth of Faith

    2270 Words  | 5 Pages

    “Truth is information which has been clearly proved, or affirmed, or verified… standing firm no matter whether it yields returns or not,” Václav Havel states on his views of truth. Part of faith is trusting in God and standing firm in the faith and church, yet learning about what you affirm when talking about faith. The truth of faith can be confusing and hard to understand in varying points of the Christian faith. Typically, these confusions occur when the truth of faith does not line up with events, actions, or thoughts about what you wanted to believe the nature of the truth of faith is. My belief paper talked about how its hard to always trust that God is there in the hard times as the path you are going on isn’t always what you want, but by relying on God, things can turn around. By trusting in God, the path becomes present. In order to trust in God, one must have a foundation in full faith in the church, trinity, and sacraments.

  • Love According To Aristophanes: The Power Of Love

    723 Words  | 2 Pages

    According to Aristophanes, “Love is the desire of the whole, and the pursuit of the whole is called love.” (Page 8). Love is the name that human beings give to the desire for wholeness, the desire to be restored to original human nature. Love is important given the kind of creatures humans are; it is the only thing that can lead to happiness. Human beings innately find themselves as lacking – as incomplete and wounded. Love is important because it presents itself as a chance to heal this incompleteness. Just by existing, human beings feel this lack; it is innate. Love is the desire to fill that lack/incompleteness. Human beings fall in love in an attempt to become whole again.

    Love is the most important aspect of human life as we know it. The reasons are because it is one of the only things that can not be bought with any amount of money so it makes it a very scarce resource.

Love has not changed at all over the course of history and this makes it the most important emotion in the human mind, body and soul.
