What is Quotempole?
Quote
Paul’s definition makes faith also a moving force. There can be no faith unless we venture out to discover the “substance hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” It implies that we must seek faith for ourselves, or it will not have value, or come to stay. Faith is a product of individual action. Like all other good things, it is a reward of self-effort. It must be found by oneself. It cannot be borrowed or stolen from another ... The more faith is examined, the more it becomes an active, prayer[ful], hopeful force, that drives us, without doubt, to an active search for truth. It is a universal principle that leads to human progress.
