	Faith is not understood as assent to propositions, certainty about unseen outcomes, or confidence grounded in control. In this context, faith names a lived trust that releases anxiety about securing the future and instead remains present to faithful conduct now. Faith does not manage the Kingdom, does not guarantee outcomes, and does not excuse harm or trespass. It is receptive rather than assertive: not what one holds, but what carries.		Faith is not understood as assent to propositions, certainty about unseen outcomes, or confidence grounded in control.

			Faith does not manage the [[Kingdom]], does not guarantee outcomes, and does not excuse harm or trespass. It is receptive rather than assertive: not what one holds, but what carries.

			Faith also names the relinquishment of autonomous judgment. Humanity continually attempts to secure righteousness, justify itself, condemn others, and determine good and evil apart from God. Faith releases this burden rather than seizing it. It trusts that judgment belongs ultimately to God and not to human control, coercion, certainty, or self-justification.

			To live by faith is not passivity or indifference. It is faithful conduct without enthroning oneself as judge over the world.

'''Faith''' names the trust by which one is carried in faithful conduct, within a [[Covenant]], without anxious control over outcomes or reliance on certainty.

			== How This Term Is Used Here ==

			Faith is not understood as assent to propositions, certainty about unseen outcomes, or confidence grounded in control. In this context, faith names a lived trust that releases anxiety about securing the future and instead remains present to faithful conduct now. Faith does not manage the Kingdom, does not guarantee outcomes, and does not excuse harm or trespass. It is receptive rather than assertive: not what one holds, but what carries.

			== Relation to Other Terms==

			* ''[[Grace]]'' precedes faith and makes it possible; faith does not earn grace.
			* ''[[Spirit]]'' sustains faith over time through remembrance and interpretation.
			* ''[[Covenant]]'' situates faith as lived trust within a binding relationship.
			* ''[[Charitability]]'' expresses faith outwardly in conduct toward [[neighbor]].
			* ''[[Kingdom]]'' emerges where faith releases anxious control and life is lived without coercion.

			== Scriptural Grounding ==

			This usage follows the New Testament emphasis on pistis as faithfulness and lived trust rather than belief or certainty. A central expression appears in Jesus’ teaching on freedom from anxiety:

			<blockquote>So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own. Today’s trouble is enough for today. (Matthew 6:34)</blockquote>

			Faith here is not confidence about what will happen, but release from anxious grasping at what cannot be secured.

			== Common Misuses ==

			* Faith is not certainty or intellectual assent.
			* Faith does not guarantee outcomes or protection from harm.
			* Faith does not authorize coercion, enforcement, or disregard for neighbor.
			* Faith does not replace faithful conduct or charitability.
