"For every child of God defeats this evil world, and we achieve this victory through our faith." 1 John 5:4 NLT
Faith works like a shield blocking out opposing beliefs. That's great if you believe the truth about something. However, it is horrible if you believe a lie. You see faith can block the lies of the devil and God's Word of Truth!
Complex definition-- Faith is your perception of reality. A built in filter or bias that our minds use to filter out possible meanings or interpretations of reality. The information that comes into our minds through our senses is raw data. It has little or no meaning built into it. Faith is the meaning that is added to the information that comes in through our senses and then presents that to our consciousness. That way we don't have to think about every possible detail. Its like how a computer displays graphics in a easy to understand way rather than displaying the binary code.
