Our Faith in God always begins on a crutch.
A crutch— a strong supporting Faith, that has been passed down to us, through the Holy lives of Faithful Christians.
We hold on to it; we believe in it; we live and grow upon it.
Then
eventually by God's Grace, we ourselves become the beacon— the "light
of Christ", that would continue to be passed down to future
generations— as a living testimony of our Faith.
It is then, that we'll express the words (of our Faith) that resounds in the Holy Scripture :
"We
no longer believe just because of what you said; now we have heard for
ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Savior of the world."
[John 4:42]
Every Christian who is determined to be a
Faithful Christian, follows the same path, until he himself becomes the
"light of Christ".
