“A true, saving faith is measured not by the measure of confidence, but by this, that it be a purifying, working, and causing faith”

Jonathan Edwards

Simplified Meaning:

Having genuine faith isn't just about how confident you feel about it. What's really important is that this faith makes you a better person, drives you to do good things, and motivates change in your life. Imagine someone who believes strongly in being kind but never actually does anything kind – their belief isn't really useful. On the other hand, someone who believes in kindness and helps others, volunteers, or supports those in need is showing real faith. This kind of faith improves them as a person and has a positive impact on the world around them. So, if you want your faith to be meaningful, let it push you to take action and improve both yourself and the lives of others.
