Certainty

[JGG]

How does one become certain in their faith? Is a faith which is more certain stronger, better, more correct, more mature, or wiser?

Your Faith or trust in the Christian Faith is based on a historical Person that made incredible claims about his identity then proceeded to back them up with a miraculous sinless life and resurrecting from the dead which no person has done since or ever can. Therefore , anything that Christ taught, said, did can be taken as the absolute truth. The Christian Faith isn't based on lack of evidence or good reason but on certainty because of the person of Christ , the fact that the Bible can be shown to be supernatural in origin, and because the truths of the Bible exactly represent how man is in past centuries and today. It speaks to the soul of the person and is powerful to make deep inward changes so that a person is transformed. That's for certain.

I think one can be certain that they have faith, rather than one being certain of the beliefs that consist of faith. I think the point of faith is to not have certainty.
