Victor J Maglio
Faith does not “believe the unbelievable.”
Faith perceives the imperceivable.
Faith is a true, God-given, sensory faculty that “sees” by a light that is beyond our natural visual spectrum, and “hears” what is beyond our natural audible range.
Faith is not, as it is sometimes portrayed, merely an exercise of the mind that “believes” something in spite of what can be “seen” with the eyes and/or “heard” with the ears. Rather, the God-given gift of faith is, itself, a true sensory faculty that facilitates perception, apprehension and comprehension of reality beyond our natural visual spectrum and beyond our natural audible range…a spiritual sensory faculty.
…faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
[Hebrews 11v1]
