No need for faith in the unknown.

I will not ask you to have faith in something you cannot see, except for the visible results of its presence around you.

I will not ask you to believe in something you cannot touch, except in how it makes you feel in your heart.

I will not ask you to have faith in something you cannot hear, expect for the sound of the rushing wind and joyful laughter in your ears.

If seeing, touching, and hearing are not enough, then I will not ask you to believe in something you cannot taste.

But I will ask you to taste and see and hear and feel. And if you do those things, there is no need to ask you to believe, because you will have faith not in what is unseen, unfelt, or unheard, but in what you have tasted.

Faith in the unseen that the author of the Letter to the Hebrews writes about is the Faith in the New Jerusalem, the coming City of God. The Kingdom of God has broken in, here, now, with ample evidence.

Taste and see and know. Now.
