2004 Term 1 Week 2 (Part A) - Definitions: Believe, Trust, and Faith

Faith
Belief ---------> Trust

Believe: I believe the chair will hold my weight
Faith: I sit on the chair
Trust: I am sitting on the chair

Belief is abstract. You can believe without needing to act on it. “I believe that Earth is the only planet with life.”
Faith is acting on a belief. “I believe that through God I can bless others, so I will talk to Fred.”
Trust is remaining acting on belief. If faith is like the first step, then trust is all the steps that follow.
