"It would be folly to say that faith's sphere is where one sees nothing. Rather, its sphere is where one sees a great deal, so terribly much that one involuntarily closes one's eyes, because the sight is unendurable. But faith does not believe because it closes its eyes. Rather, faith means to hold and trust, with eyes that see, to what one does not see; to hope against hope, to believe against experience." - Gerhard Ebeling, The Nature of Faith (A Leopard Tamed)
Faith enables us "to believe in the God who has taken to Himself the whole responsibility for the ultimate answers." - Elisabeth Elliot, ALT
