Faith is a must for the smooth ongoing of any human society. Members of the family trust one another. Members of any society must trust one another. Otherwise that society can not run smoothly.
Imagine a company where the manager and the workers do not trust each other. There is often havoc there instead of harmony. On the other hand, if there is mutual trust and confidence the company will function well.
Let us imagine someone needing hair dressing. That someone must take initiative and go to a barber where the services are offered and that someone must trust the barber to do a good job and must make himself available at the disposal of the barber to do the job. Otherwise hair dressing could never be done.
Any thing else in life, for that matter, we must be willing to trust ourselves into the hands of someone who offers to help us. No man can ever live in isolation. We need one another for our physical survival.
We all know that life is much more than physical. There is a mental side to human life. For our growth in our mental capacities, we again have to depend on others around us. We learn from each other. We go to schools and colleges. We learn from experts special lessons which otherwise we will never be able to learn.
The tragedy is that some people think that human life is over with the physical and the mental. When one realizes that there is another dimention to human existence and begin to work towards achieving a spiritual deapth to our lives, we will begin to enjoy life at a higher level. Here comes God into the picture.
Just as faith and trust are essential for the smooth ongoing of our physical and mental realms of existence, faith is a must when it comes to our spiritual life. That is why the Bible says, “He who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him” (Heb.11:6).
