Faith like a child. A child will believe the gospel of Jesus Christ, but it is harder for an adult to take that leap of faith. The Truth of Jesus and His ministry has to resonate with an adult for that person to believe, as we have been programmed by adulthood to only accept what can be proven to our senses. Faith transcends our common senses, and is deepened through actively discerning God's will. When you live your life according to His will, the inner peace provides the safety necessary to face this world's challenges. The first Christians of the Roman Empire were lit on fire or torn apart by beasts in the Colosseum. They refused to denounce their faith, instead enduring the most horrifying deaths. Only faith like a child will enable someone to persevere in a situation like that, which makes our concerns seem paltry by comparison.
