Often a Christian is characterized as having faith that is baseless or blind. Sadly, this language isn’t confined to being spoken by those outside of the church. Today, many professing Christians will speak of faith as if one needs to “just believe” or “take a leap into the dark and let God catch you.” However, we are not asked to “jump into the dark,” but rather to “walk in the light” (1 John 1:7). In this article we examine why faith must be rational and reasonable in order to be real.
