Why Do We Need Faith? The Three Basic Needs For A State Of SalvationWhy do we need faith? The purpose of faith is to respond to the three basic needs that lie at the root of the human condition: the need for redemption, sanctification and exaltation. Without these three states of salvation we are lost. All three depend on a profound and earnest belief in God and His glorious trinity. If God is absent from our discussion on humanity then we sacrifice our salvation. Through communion with God we can solve all the issues which currently threaten to extinguish our planet.
