Can You Have Faith Without Questions?

“The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children.” Deuteronomy 29:29

There are certain things God has revealed, that’s what makes faith possible and there are certain things God has kept secret—that’s what makes faith necessary.

Paul says, “Now I know in part…” (1 Corinthians 1:12). We know in part and that is why we walk by faith and not by sight. Just as it is part of Christian faith to say we know what God has revealed, it is part of Christian humility to say we do not know what God has kept secret.

The world will often say to believers, “How do you explain this?” as if faith depended on having all the answers.  But if you had all the answers, you’d have no need of faith. The day will come when we’ll know fully, even as we’re fully known (13:12), but on that day faith will no longer be necessary. Faith will be turned to sight, and we’ll behold Christ! Until then, faith with questions will be the normal experience of the Christian life.
