No Cause And Effect

I consider that a core principle of the Christian faith is the radical severance of faith from cause and effect. This is something, I think, that my late wife Mirjam came to believe deeply during her terminal illness. We know anyway that salvation is not governed by cause and effect (Eph 2:9). However, neither are the events of the world (Isa 59:16), nor are the fortunes of companies of people (2 Chr 20:35), nor are the fates of individuals (Psa 62:5). OBSERVATION: Few people understand this principle -- alternatively, they need continually to renew their understanding of it.
