Sometime we are tempted to approach faith as something that can "help" us to live comfortable lives. Voltaire said, "I would rather have a servant who has faith so that he will not steal from me." This kind of way of looking at faith is the kind of faith that is there to "help" people. Faith of this kind is seen as something that helps people to be less anxious, to be more hopeful, so that one feels good about one’s life. This is not necessarily bad, but it is not complete either. The faith that God calls us to in Jesus is not this "it helps" faith, rather it is a form of "it is everything" faith.
