In Scripture, faith is described through all our senses. It is sight: "Look to me and be saved." It is hearing: "Hear, and your soul shall live." Faith is smelling: "All your garments smell of myrrh and aloes." Faith is touch, as the woman who touched Christ's garment and through faith, we hold onto the promises of life.

Faith is also the spirit's taste. "How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my lips." Jesus said, "Unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood, you have no life in you." This taste is faith at its highest. Faith begins with hearing. We hear God not just with our ears, but with our hearts, believing it is His Word. This is the hearing of faith. Our minds then see the truth before us, understanding it clearly; this is the seeing of faith. Then we sense its value, admiring its fragrance; this is faith's smell. We accept the grace offered through Christ; this is faith's touch. From here grows peace, joy, and communion—faith's taste.

Each act of faith saves. Hearing Christ's voice as God's voice saves us. Yet the true joy comes when Christ, sweet and precious, nourishes our soul. Then, we sit "under his shadow with great delight," and his fruit is sweet to taste.
