→Faith as commitment
Sometimes, faith means a belief in a relationship with a [[deity]]. In this case, "faith" is used in the sense of "fidelity." For many Jews, the [[Hebrew Bible]] and [[Talmud]] depict a committed but contentious relationship between their God and the Children of Israel. For a lot of people, faith or the lack thereof, is an important part of their [[Identity (social science)|identity]], for example a person who identifies himself or herself as a [[Muslim]] or a [[skeptic]].[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faiths]

"Saving '''faith''' has its birth in the [[human]] [[heart]] when the moral [[consciousness]] of man realizes that human [[value|values]] may be translated in mortal experience from the [[material]] to the [[spiritual]], from the human to the [[divine]], from [[time]] to [[eternal|eternity]]."[http://www.nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php/Paper_102_-_The_Foundations_of_Religious_Faith]
