Live your faith and it will become real.​


I have a problem with that quote because our faith is real because of God's Word and because of Jesus' death on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins. Nothing I do or say will make forgiveness and eternal life more real. It doesn't depend on me, it depends on our triune God.

Truth is truth.....

Reality is reality.....

A person may or may not know or affirm such or act accordingly, but that has absolutely nothing to do with Truth bring true or reality being real. This quote (which I admit I've never seen or heard) is perhaps a result of the growing relativism and emotionalism that has infected modern "Evangelicalism."

Sounds a lot like another quote some people like, "fake it 'til you make it". It works in a lot of scenarios but I'm not sure a walk of faith is one of them.
