Why is good faith, and what is God like?

 We live in a very religious time, but not a very Christian one. Like mushrooms after the rain, we have a wide variety of sects. Astrologers, spirits, horoscope makers, magicians, occultists offer help at every step. If you don’t want to talk to them, they will provide you with at least a pendant or a miraculous stone that miraculously brings health. Such a belief the Christian rejects. Today’s man thinks economically and therefore asks a question. Why this or that is good. Why is good faith? Faith in Jesus and the way with him. Jesus creates a third, spiritual dimension in each of us and leads our spiritual life to the fullness. Jesus builds our will. He will make a bridge between the old and new life. It gives us other perspectives on life from another angle. Faith, together with love, forms the motivating triangle of our lives.
We can show what motivation is in the experience of war surgeons. The cause of the soldiers was a crucial helper in the treatment of these soldiers. The soldier who lost all his relatives in the war and had no one to return to was also subject to minor injuries. Motivation is essential for every human act. Motivation is love. A student motivated by a love of study is a better student than one who studies because he has to. It’s terrible if the motivation becomes something negative; let’s say fear. If we want our children to learn better, we can motivate them positively by setting an attractive goal in front of them or by threatening them with punishment. Against faith, which always contains hope and love, there are still atheists who do not believe. Even if he proclaims love, he denies faith. It denies the spiritual dimension in man and gives him only a bodily dimension. I have never encountered the value motivated by atheism. I don’t know a single song, a work that would arise out of love for atheism.
On the other hand, there are many works of art, musical and artistic, created for faith reasons and motives. Millions of people do great acts of love because they are motivated by faith in God. I hear an objection that everyone believes in something. This is also a motive. However, only a motive that has a spatial value for people and a spatial value for the earth. I can believe that my favorite team will win, or that it will rain tomorrow, and so on. Believing in God means more than believing that I will succeed in sports. There is one difference. When I think I will win the lotto, it may not come true. If I believe in God, I am sure that God will fulfill his promises. Faith teaches one to program only positively. To keep him in positive motivation. Unbelievers often believe that a believer acts the way he does, precisely because he fears God. He is afraid of him. They assume negative reasons in believers. But the truth is different. The believer acts as he does because he loves God. A faith-shaped conscience is shaped positively.
