How does Faith relate to the world in which we live?

Faith is deeply related to our world and our lives. Every moment of our lives is driven through faith; we can become confident with faith, and find peace with faith. When faith is part of every moment of our lives, it can be part of small events such as being driven to school, to huge events such as moving into a new culture. When we are driven to school by our parents we have faith in them that we will make it to school on time. We have trust in the fact that we won't get into a car accident. When we move to a different country at times with a different culture, we trust our parents that this will be the best for our future. We only become confident when we have trust or faith within ourselves. Also, we can find inner peace with ourselves and others with faith. This is clearly illustrated in the novel Peace Child, by Don Richardson. When the Sawi Culture can put their faith in the “peace child”, peace is brought between two tribes and the war comes to a stop. Faith is obviously deeply connected with our world in which we live in. 

However, people relate and apply faith differently throughout their life. For example, Christians relate to faith through what propels them forward in life. They have their faith in a higher being, God. They try to live their life for his glory. This means that every action and thought is in obedience to him. Another example would be Atheists. Atheists do not believe in a religion but they can still relate to faith. As faith means trust, Atheists still have faith with their family, and friends. They still show faith through their everyday life. Even though some Atheists may not admit to it, the fact is that they have trust in others, and when there is trust, there is faith. Another group of people are the Sawi people found in the Peace Child book, by Don Richardson. Even though their culture is based around a treachery and evil, they still had to trust their tribe and believe that their tribe will not commit treachery on them. This is their faith.

Everyone is related to faith. This means that the concept of faith seems to be universal in all cultures and in all people. That is the reason why faith is deeply related to the world in which we live in.
