Nurturing Faith מאמר ואתה תצוה תשמ"א

"Moses feeds and sustains Israel in the matter of faith, causing them to experience it consciously." -From the discourse

There is a faith that is superficial, and then there is true faith.

One who offers a prayer for success in his business, yet employs morally questionably practices, exhibits superficial faith. It is a faith that is theoretical, one that has no practical effect on his life. This is not true faith.

True faith is defined by its consequence. It is not merely a feeling, but an impetus for something real, something tangible.

True faith shakes a person to the  deepest part of his being, and demands action: "If this is what you believe, then you must act on it! No matter the difficulties you face, you must remain true to your faith!"

True faith changes a person.

And it is Moses who reveals the true faith within each of us.
