Many people take faith to mean to blind believe. But it is not like that at all.
What does it mean to have faith? Have faith in what?
When Jesus says have faith, Jesus meant have faith in what he said. In other word, believe in what he says. But what does that mean though?
What Jesus meant by believe is this...
Jesus: "Dude, believe me, you can save yourself from a life of misery and pain if you just do these things I am about to tell you: Do not murder. Do not kill. Do not steal. Etc. And also, remember, I love you and God loves you."
But somehow, most people have misunderstood this to just mean blindly believing.
