“Through darkness, God revealed the incompetency of Pharaoh, who had been regarded as the son of the sun god, and gave him a final warning. … Though Pharaoh, alarmed by the darkness, took a step backward, he continued to try and negotiate with God. ‘If you do this for me, I’ll do this for you.’ Is my prayer not perhaps like this?”

John 10:25-30 ESV

“I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name bear witness about me, but you do not believe because you are not among my sheep. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.”

믿음은 이성의 한계 너머에 있는 실재를 인정하는 행위다. 환언하면, 믿음은 실재에 대한 비전을 공유하는 것이다.
