"Faith is the assurance of what is hoped for and evidence of things not seen." Hebrews 11:1
By faith, man completely submits his intellect and his will to God. With his whole being man gives his assent to God the revealer. Sacred Scripture calls this human response to God, the author of revelation, "the obedience of faith." CCC 143
In faith, the human intellect and will cooperate with divine grace: "Believing is an act of the intellect assenting to the divine truth by command of the will moved by God through grace." (St. Thomas Aquinas) CCC 155
Faith and obedience cannot be separated.
