Faith is like walking in the dense fog
Faith is like walking in the dense fog or darkness; For each step you take, you will see ahead. When our faith in God is expressed in our actions, it is obedience. I like the depiction of 'Shepherds and Sheep' in the Bible (Psalm 23, John 10). Yahweh is our Shepherd, and we are his sheep. Sheep are expected to do two things: trust the shepherd completely and follow him blindly. God leads us and gives us our ways because He knows what is best for us. If we conform ourselves to the God's will and follow his instructions in faith, we will be victorious and always on the winning side. Blessed is the man who find the way of God, and goes in it.
What does it mean to be "just believing or having faith"? If you know what it means to believe a doctor when he says, "You need surgery," you know what it means? "to believe". If you know what it means to step into an aeroplane entrusting your safety to the captain in the cockpit, you know what it means? " to have faith in confidence or completely relying on someone's hand". Faith is complete dependence on another person, to do what you can never do for yourself.
How much faith does it take to go to heaven?
If you are willing to believe in Jesus Christ with all of your heart, then you can be saved. Saving faith means putting your trust in Jesus Christ and Him alone.
