VICES OPPOSED TO FAITH

The vices opposed to faith are, at one extreme, a lack of faith—which is unfaithfulness, and at the other extreme, one can never have too much faith, but one can have a disordered faith—which is false-faith.

The vice of unfaithfulness is a disposition dead or devoid of belief in Christ and commitment to His ways.

The unfaithful one holds their life tight to their chest, unwilling to give it fully to Christ, they search for fulfillment everywhere but Christ—never to find it.

The vice of false-faith is a disposition whereby one’s faith is empty, unauthentic, or unfounded in the truth.

Do not be deceived. Many are misled by “false teachers” (2 Peter 2:1) and errant thoughts that “suit their own desires” (2 Timothy 4:3). Scripture warns of both. Real faith can not be faked or fabricated. God sees the genuineness of one’s heart and truthfulness of one’s faith.

Whether it be by unfaithfulness or false-faith, the end result is the same—unbelief.

Unbelief denies grace and breeds faith-combating sins of many kinds—including infidelity, heresy, apostasy, blasphemy, and beyond. As a byproduct of pride, it is said, “Unbelief is the greatest of sins” (St. Thomas Aquinas), for one who does not place their belief in the Way of the Truth, places it in the way of destruction.

Faith in accordance with the Gospel is the only light that guides one to eternal life. None else. If you have it, keep it. If you do not, seek it—and by God’s grace, it's infinite treasure you will find.
