你知道人类是唯一喜欢吃辛辣食物的动物吗？ Did you know humans are the only animals that enjoy spicy foods?
我不知道这一点。 I didn't know that.
嗯，我说得很有说服力，不是吗？我的意思是，我并不完全确定这是否属实。 Well, I said it pretty convincingly, didn't I? I mean, I'm not exactly sure if that's true.
我在网上读到的。 I read it online.
好吧，我差点就相信你了。 Well, I almost believed you.
有些人认为信心就是盲目接受某些说法而不加质疑。 And some people think faith is about blindly accepting some statements without questioning them.
或者是毫无疑问地相信神。 Or it's about believing in God without doubt.
但信心根本不是这样的。 But faith isn't like that at all.
我明白你的意思。 I know what you're saying.
当我年轻的时候，我曾经认为信心就是相信你的父母或神父告诉你关于神的事。 When I was younger, I used to think faith was just believing what your parents or a priest told you about God.
你的父母或神父可能是很好的老师，但最终，你需要对信仰的真理做出自己的回应。 Your parents or priests can be great teachers, but eventually, you need to make your own response to the truths of faith.
有人可能告诉你一些你需要自己去核实的事情，但最终，你需要自己下定决心并做出回应。 Someone might tell you something which you need to check out for yourself, but eventually, you need to make up your mind and respond on your own.
而且神必须是我们可以信任的对象，对吧？ And God has to be someone we can trust, right?
基本上，整个救恩历史，我们从阅读圣经中学到 的一切，都是神向我们展示祂值得信赖的故事。 Basically, all of salvation history, all we learn from reading the Bible, is the story of God showing us He's trustworthy.
在整个救恩历史中，神一直在揭示祂是谁，祂是 什么样的，以及祂对我们所有人的慈爱计划。 And throughout salvation history, God has been revealing who He is, what He's like, and His plan of loving goodness for all of us.
那么这就是我们所说的信心吗？ So is that what we mean by faith?
这究竟意味着什么？ What does that really mean?
《公教会教理》说，引用，信心是神赐予的超自然恩赐。 The Catechism says, quote, Faith is a supernatural gift from God.
为了相信，人需要圣灵内在的帮助。 In order to believe, man needs the interior helps of the Holy Spirit.
引用结束。 End quote.
信心是对神的个人自由回应。 Faith is a personal and free response to God.
然而，即使是我们的回应也源于神的恩典，因为祂使我们能够自由地、个人地回应那呼召。 Yet even our response flows from God's grace in the sense that He enables us freely and personally to respond to that call.
想象一下，你遇到某人并开始了解他们。 Imagine that you meet someone and get to know them.
你了解了很多关于他们的事情，以及他们是什么样的人。 You learn a lot about them and what they're like.
你逐渐信任他们。 You grow to trust them.
你相信他们所说的是真实的。 You have faith that what they say is true.
你也对他们有信心。 You also have faith in them.
这不是一夜之间就能发生的事。 It isn't something that happens overnight.
这也不是盲目的、毫无根据的或不合理的信心。 And it isn't a blind, unfounded, or unreasonable faith.
你最终冒着这种信心的风险，建立起一种关系，这种关 系建立在你对他们所说的话和他们是谁的信心之上。 You eventually take the risk of this faith and a relationship is built on this faith in what they say and who they are.
是的，最好的关系肯定是这样的。 Yeah, the best relationships are that way for sure.
这是关于了解一个人，然后信任那个人。 It's about getting to know someone and then trusting that person.
耶稣经常谈到信心。 Jesus spoke of faith often.
祂行神迹的能力常常取决于人们对祂和祂能力的信心。 His ability to work miracles often depended on people's faith in Him and His power.
耶稣也是信心的榜样，因为祂如此深深地信靠圣父。 Jesus was also a model of faith because He trusted so deeply in the Father.
有一次，当耶稣在暴风雨中的船上时，祂平静了风浪，转向那些害怕的门徒。 One time while on a boat in the middle of a raging storm, Jesus even calmed that storm and turned to the disciples who were scared.
耶稣仅用祂的话语就平静了风浪。 And Jesus calmed the storm with just His words.
祂转向他们说，「你们没有信心吗？」 And He turned to them saying, have you no faith?
耶稣这样说是什么意思？ What did Jesus mean by that?
耶稣是在问他们是否信任的不仅是神的计划，还有耶稣是谁以及祂的父是谁。 Jesus was asking if they trusted not just what God's plan was, but who Jesus is and who His Father is.
祂向我们展示了这一点，信靠祂的父直到在十字架上死去。 And He showed it to us, trusting His Father to the point of death on the cross.
所以信心并非不合理。 So faith isn't unreasonable.
我们能够运用理性或合理思考的能力来理解神是谁以及祂所启示的内容。 We're able to use our reason or our ability to think rationally and reasonably to come to some understanding of who God is and what He's revealed.
那么，我们能够通过信靠神所启示的内容来以信心回应，这是有道理的。 It makes sense then that we're able to respond in faith by trusting what God has revealed.
这正是教会教导信心不与理性和理解相对立的原因。 This is exactly why the church teaches that faith is not opposed to reason and understanding.
在世俗世界中，你经常会听到信心与科学是对立的，但这并不是真的。 In the secular world, you'll often hear that faith and science are opposed, but this isn't true.
信心是对神的自由和个人回应。 Faith is a free and personal response to God.
信心意味着顺服于神是谁以及祂慈爱计划的真理。 Faith means to submit to the truth of who God is and His plan of loving goodness.
所以我们可以决定拥有信心吗？ So we can decide to have faith?
嗯，某种程度上是的。 Well, sort of.
信心是通过恩典成为可能的深刻人性行为。 Faith is a deeply human act made possible through grace.
信心不与我们的自由或理性相对立，但信心也是通过圣灵的帮助才成为可能的行为。 Faith is not opposed to our freedom or our reason, but faith is also an act made possible through the help of the Holy Spirit.
神使我们能够以信心回应。 God enables us to respond in faith.
通过拥有信心，我们已经能够体验到神的帮助和恩典。 By having faith, we are already able to experience God's help and grace.
我们的智力和意志能够与这份恩赐合作。 Our intellect and will are able to cooperate with this gift.
这听起来是我们与神关系中如此重要的一部分。 It sounds like such an important part of our relationship with God.
这是一份恩赐，也是我们能做的最重要的行为之一。 It's a gift and one of the most important acts we can do.
神已经启示了自己，我们有选择以某种方式回应。 God has revealed Himself and we have a choice to respond in some way.
当我们通过圣灵的帮助以信心回应，使我们的思想和行为与神及祂的计划 一致时，我们就在做进入神为我们准备的慈爱计划所需的第一个行动。 When we respond in faith through the help of the Holy Spirit, by putting our thoughts and actions in line with God and His plan, we are doing the first act required to enter into God's plan of loving goodness for us.
我想起了第一次站在很高的跳水板上的情景。 I'm thinking of the first time I was on a really high diving board.
有人必须向我解释从那么高的地方跳下是安全的。 Someone had to talk me through the idea that jumping from such a height was safe.
我可以问他们任何我想问的问题，也可以看着其他人跳水，思考我是否会感到安全。 I could ask them whatever questions I wanted to and could watch other people jump and think about whether or not I would feel safe.
但站在跳水板顶端，我必须在某个时刻跳下去，相信或有信心我会没事的。 But standing at the top of that diving board, I had to jump at some point and trust or have faith that I would be okay.
我必须相信我的朋友，相信他们告诉我的话和我所经历的。 I had to put my faith in my friends and put faith in what they've told me and what I experienced.
信心不仅仅是一种信任程度。 Faith is more than just a level of trust.
信心是一种深刻的人性和属灵行为，使我们与神建立关系。 Faith is a deeply human and spiritual act that puts us into a relationship with God.
它对我们的救恩是必要的，意味着它对神为我们准备的慈爱计划是必要的。 It is necessary for our salvation, meaning it's necessary for God's plan of loving goodness for us.
所以信心是我们在了解神是谁、祂是什么样的以及祂所启 示的内容时，我们都被呼召要做出的自由和个人回应。 So faith is a free and personal response we're all called to make as we learn about who God is, what He's like, and what He's revealed.
但它也是圣灵的恩赐。 But it's also a gift of the Holy Spirit.
我们相信真理，我们信任向我们启示真理的那位。 We believe in the truth and we trust the person who's revealed it to us.
神就是真理本身，祂希望我们理解祂是谁以及祂所启示的内容。 God is truth itself and He wants us to understand who He is and what He's revealed.
但最终，我们不能仅仅理解祂。 But at the end of the day, we can't just understand Him.
祂希望我们通过将我们的全部，我们的思想、信念、行为，我们的整个生命 交给祂来进入信心，因为祂通过祂的话语和行为证明了自己是值得信赖的。 He wants us to enter into faith by giving all of ourselves, our thoughts, beliefs, actions, our very lives over to Him because He's shown Himself to be trustworthy by His words and deeds.
