Faith is more than mere thought, [[emotion]], and [[belief]].  Faith elevates one's being, while belief is limited to a mental state or emotion.  Faith implies a [[causation|causal]] role by the believer in an outcome,<ref>For example, the Biblical [[Peter]]'s walking on water based on his faith.</ref> or in overcoming a personal [[fear]].  Faith also implies advancement or accomplishment of something good, while mere belief does not achieve by itself.

The importance of faith [[logic|logically]] follows from the [[Arguments for the existence of God|existence of God]], as explained in [[Luke, Chapter 17#7|Luke 7-10]] (merely doing as told is not enough - "We are unworthy servants; we have '''''only''''' done what was our duty.").<ref>Luke 17:10 (ESV) (emphasis added).</ref>  God went beyond His duty and would prefer His [[creation]] to do likewise.  That requires faith.

Faith combined with [[Works (theology)|good works]] is a foundation of [[virtue]] and this is the strongest way to overcome [[addiction]] and harmful [[obsession]]s, including [[obesity]] and football watching/[[video game]] playing, as well as overcoming all kinds of [[fear]]s/[[anxiety]]. Faith could even be defined as the opposite of anxiety.
