Faith and Jesus

Faith, and Jesus,
Here is something for you to think about with regards to faith and Jesus.
The writer of Hebrews states,
“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for 
and certain of what we do not see.”  
                                             Hebrews 11:1
“And without faith it is impossible to please God,
 because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists
 and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” 
                                                                           Hebrews 11:6
St. Augustine said,
“Faith is to believe what you do not see; 
the reward of this faith is to see what you believe.”
                                                                     Saint Augustine 
Voltaire said,
Faith consists in believing 
when it is beyond the power of reason to believe. 
                                                                 Voltaire.
         Thomas Aquinas said,
To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. 
To one without faith, no explanation is possible. 
                                                               Thomas Aquinas.
Jesus speaking of himself said,
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.  Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son”. John 3:16-18.
Blaise Pascal said of faith in God,
Belief is a wise wager. 
Granted that faith cannot be proved, 
what harm will come to you if you gamble on its truth and it proves false? 
If you gain, you gain all; 
if you lose, you lose nothing. 
Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists. 
                                                               Blaise Pascal.
Thus the question becomes, where is your faith.
Please think about it.
