Faith goes beyond [[materialism]] to include beneficial use of the unseen, [[spiritual]] reality. [[Jesus Christ|Jesus]] taught that even a little faith can move mountains ([[Matthew, Chapter 17#20|Matthew 17:20]]). The existence of [[infinity]] implies the existence of the infinite power of faith.

Precisely defining "faith" is challenging.<ref>''See also [[defining faith]]''.</ref> Faith is "realizing the [[infinity|infinite]], and using it for [[Goodness|good]]."
