Does it mean having the Name of the Almighty on our lips all the time? Do we exhibit faith by praying and believing that our Creator can do just anything, thus acting arbitrarily in order to fulfil our wishes which most of the time are self serving? Many may also be under the delusion that being a member of a religious group confers on them the title of "the faithfuls".
Faith is none of these!
Faith in all simplicity is the absorption of Divine Messages and making them a part and parcel of daily living. The Lord speaks to us in His Holy Word and also through His creation. Everything bears witness to Him and how we are to conduct ourselves in order to be pleasing to Him. As soon as man is able to come to terms with the Laws of God and swing with them,all his intuitions, thoughts and deeds will unite in joyful affirmation of God. Faith therefore is not only being convinced of the Laws of God and professing this loudly and hanging it out as a mask but this conviction must become deed. Conviction becomes a deed when it translates to visible actions. In this case, every breathe one takes reflects the fact that one is living in accordance with the Will of the Most High.
May we be blessed with faith - true and living faith!
