Every person you see is a "man or woman of faith". That is, they all believe..... something! You're looking at images that represent Catholicism, Islam, Christianity, atheism, evolutionism, and satanism. There are other belief systems, too.
In our modern society, we have completely confused the terminology we use. Even the word "Christian" can mean so many different things depending on who you ask. We have to understand that these terms need to be very clearly defined! So let me define one right now...
A Christian is a person who has realized that he/she is a sinner, and cannot save themselves. They have understood that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, came to this earth and was born of a virgin, lived a
sinless life, gave His life as a sacrifice for the sins of the world, died on a cross, was buried, and rose again to life proving that God the Father accepted His sacrifice for the sins of the world. A Christian is a person who has placed his/her trust fully and only in Jesus Christ's finished, redemptive work on the cross. This is a person of "Christian faith".
A Muslim has placed his/her trust in the teachings of Islam that involve Allah and Muhammed. Atheists and evolutionists have placed their faith in the hope that there is no God to whom they are responsible, and there is no penalty for sin. A Hindu has placed his/her faith in the hope that through reincarnations, a
person can perhaps attain to some sort of higher state of being. And so on.
The point is that everyone on the planet is a "person of faith" because everyone believes (has faith in)
something! Furthermore, whatever those beliefs may be, everyone on Earth believes that whatever they personally hold onto by faith, that faith will carry them into whatever they
believe lies beyond the grave!
Every belief system that mankind has ever concocted through the ages guarantees nothing beyond the grave! Jesus Christ is the only One who
has guaranteed what will happen to people who have placed their trust in Him - eternal life!
