We are commanded to have a reason for our faith. Can you explain yours? Guy Richard shows us what Christian faith truly is as he examines it from biblical, theological, and historical perspectives.

“When Jesus states that we must have a childlike faith in order to enter the kingdom of heaven, he means that our faith must be implicitly accepting and trusting—just like a child’s. He does not mean that our faith is to be on the intellectual level of a child. This is clear in the many passages of the Bible that advocate maturity in the Christian life and that command us to grow up in our faith (e.g., Heb. 5:11–6:1; Eph. 4:13–16; 1 Cor. 14:20; and 2 Peter 3:18). Faith is certainly to be childlike, but it is never to be childish.” (Page 8)
“first place, although it is true that Jesus does advocate a childlike faith, he never advocates a childish faith.” (Page 8)
“What is faith? Faith is knowing Christ, loving Christ, and trusting Christ in a way that is both active and growing” (Page 26)
“an ‘assurance of knowledge that Christ came into the world to die for sinners.” (Page 7)
“Rather, it is the primary means by which men and women will become his followers” (Pages 8–9)
