Answer To Spiritual Question 6
What is Temporary Faith?
Okay, let's see if I can explain to you in simple terms, what "temporary" faith is.
Suppose you are in a car accident and are seriously injured, and you don't know if you are going to make it.
You pray to God at that moment, that He gets you out of there, and that you will survive.
They get you out, you're in the hospital for a couple of weeks with a broken this or that,
and then you get out of the hospital and start your daily routine again.
You forget that it was your faith in God that got you out, and you continue
your daily life in forgetfulness of the great thing God did for you till you need Him again.
Here's another example:
The end of the month is coming up and you don't have enough money to pay the rent.
You pray and ask God to somehow help you come up with the rent. Then by some miracle,
the money comes in and you pay the rent. Then afterwards you don't really think about God
till your next desperate need comes up.
Temporary faith is when you believe in Him for finances or needs etc.
and then after your needs are met you stop believing.
