Faith (Belief) and God

Faith (Belief) and God

The person ruined by a religious or sectarian belief does not rely on himself, not on his own energy and strength, and not on his own ability; rather, he cowardly searches for all of these values in a God and in his faith because he has no confidence in himself and in his abilities and possibilities, for he only expects these of his God. The believer looks to God, angels, or saints to help him from his despair. For the one who depends on faith, God becomes the great organizing principle for all human errors and confusions because as a believer, he cannot create and maintain order himself; thus, he also makes God the reason for life, the world, the universe, and all events, as well as the goal of all efforts and the founder of life and its meaning.
