Where Does Faith Come From?

Every Christian should know that the only way to truly believe in Jesus or the Bible is with faith. You can try to prove everything all day long and at the end of it all you will be frustrated and irritated, because someone will always have a point that you do not know how to answer. (not that there isnt an answer just that it is hard to know how to answer every argument) So where exactly does faith come from and more importantly how can you share it with someone else and it have a good impact on their life?

Just blind faith isn't nearly enough. In our personal relationship with God and Jesus we must operate with facts. Nothing less will get us where we need to know. God has his ways to prove things to us. We should be able to prove anything we would need to concerning God and our relationship with Him by our natural everyday actions. The way we live our lives and treat our fellowman. Jesus was our example of this. Jesus didn't try to prove anything to anyone until God had first proved a bunch of things to him. Most Christians are trying to do some things they are not qualified to do. You simply can't teach correctly until you have first been taught correctly. I am not talking about man's teaching. I am talking about God's personal teaching. Art

I think faith comes from believing, you have a certain amout of faith that your car will start every morning, that's based on a belief that your car is going to take you where you want to go. The same goes for Jesus, you have to believe that his going to take you where he wants you to go, you have to have faith to trust him, without it you begin to think the world is against you.

I really like the last part of your answer, however isnt the world per se against us? If the world hated Jesus how much more will they hate us? Wow, I just got revelation from that! I knew you were a good friend to have! lol.
