Summary

This quote by Blaise Pascal highlights the role of faith in perception and understanding. It suggests that faith goes beyond what our senses can perceive, providing additional insights or truths. However, it does not contradict or negate our sensory experiences. Instead, faith transcends our senses, offering a deeper and encompassing perspective that complements rather than contradicts our physical observations. In essence, faith acts as a higher level of comprehension that expands our understanding without disregarding empirical evidence.

As in nature, as in art, so in grace; it is rough treatment that gives souls, as well as stones, their luster. The more the diamond is cut the brighter it sparkles; and in what seems hard dealing, there God has no end in view but to perfect His people.
