(quote from RealReality.org/Real_Faith_and_Reason_Vol_3_-_Scientia.pdf)

Real faith isn’t pretending or making ourselves believe (make-believe). Real faith comes by hearing the utterance (rhema) of God, and Jesus Christ Authors our faith, which is the faith of God. That’s why real faith is substance. It’s reality rather than a concept. And real faith is evidence. It’s absolutely certain proof of what we haven’t yet observed. Without real faith, we can’t be certain of any truth. Therefore, without real faith, there can be no sound reasoning.
