Faith never makes a confession.

Faith never makes a confession.

Summary

This quote suggests that true faith does not need to be verbally professed or expressed. Faith is not something that necessarily requires words or vocal declarations, but rather resides within one's beliefs, actions, and thoughts. Faith is manifested by living according to one's convictions and principles, and does not rely on external demonstrations or public confessions for validation or existence. It emphasizes the idea that faith is a personal and internal matter, deeply rooted within the individual.
