C.S. Lewis: "Faith is the art of holding on to things your reason has once accepted in spite of your changing moods."
This reason is gained not only through the Bible but through human experience. The Holy Spirit reveals himself to us and vanquishes all doubt. And once we believe, the Bible contains a whole new layer of meaning. I think to myself, "Humans could not write something so deep or true without outside help."
