CONCLUSION
REFLECTION
FOR YOU, WHAT IS
FAITH
Faith in God, in the sense of Trust in God, is based on
knowing Him through an established, strong and lasting
relationship centered on mutual Loyalty and Faithfulness to
the contract we have in Jesus when we conform to Him.
WHAT IS
INDIVIDUATIVE
AND REFLECTIVE
INDIVIDUATIVE AND REFLECTIVE STAGE
This stage is often characterized by angst and
struggle as the individual takes personal
responsibility for her beliefs or feelings. Religious or
spiritual beliefs can take on greater complexity and
shades of nuance, and there is a greater sense of
open-mindedness, which can at the same time open
up the individual to potential conflicts as different
beliefs or traditions collide.
INDIVIDUATIVE AND REFLECTIVE STAGE
In this this stage, it is usually at young adulthood when the late adolescent or adult
takes seriously the responsibility for his or her own commitments, lifestyle, beliefs and
attitudes. Unavoidable tensions will have to be faced.
