Faith and Belief

According to the use we make of the two terms, faith and belief, faith is active, while belief is passive. Faith does miracles, while belief permits them to be done. Our English word believe is from the Anglo-Saxon lefan, to allow, or permit, with the prefix be to more completely passivize its meaning.—Exchange.
