Three months ago, my partner asked me if I had faith in the air we breath.
Of course my answer was no, because it is obviously and irrefutably there.
You could guess what that person asked next!
Next question was: "So why do you have faith in God?"
Thinking about that question for several weeks now, and I'm having a strange feeling.
Am I overthinking because I can't think of a strong answer? What am I missing?
Yes, you're overthinking. You don't have faith in air because you can feel the wind in your face. You don't apprehend God directly through any of the senses.
As Hebrews puts it:
Hebrews 11
1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
