Maybe these 2 definitions will clarify a leap of faith No_Foolin'.

Belief is the psychological state in which an individual is convinced of the truth or validity of a proposition or premise (argument). Belief does not necessarily confer the ability to adequately prove one's main contention to other people, who may disagree.


A leap of faith, in its most commonly used meaning, is the act of believing in something without, or in spite of, available empirical evidence. It is an act commonly associated with religious belief as many religions consider faith to be an essential element of piety.

A believer reads scripture then believes its truth. Since you're saved through Jesus and are under a better covenant you get him through reading the Gospels. Jesus himself tells his disciples how people are to approach him to be saved. He's the living word and uses the disciples' eyewitness accounts to relay his message.

A covenant is a contract. God is the one who drew up the terms of the contract. A contract is an exchange of promises and is only valid when both sides perform the terms of the contract in good faith. He's offered us a contract, whether or not we will understand it, accept it and live up to it is up to us. We have freewill after all.

This is how I understand it, but most people need to pick up a bible and understand it for themselves and move amongst other people that are trying to live it. We're humans so we definitely affect each other for good or for bad but if you focus on God you just might balance and walk the tightrope through this world to the other better side.

Poker players ought to be able to get this. You play a balancing act everyday on the poker table through the extreme polarities of the game of poker. So go tight when you have to go tight and go loose when you have to go loose.
We're humans we adjust for changing conditions while maintaining our focus.
