Why does Faust have such a difficult time explaining his faith to Gretchen? Faust is caught in the dilemma of the disconnection between the signifier and the signified. This literary and philosophical idea posits that a word or signifier cannot sufficiently explain or point to the thing that it attempts to signify. Thus, Faust cannot say he believes in God, or even express his beliefs to.
Today, we know that God became a man and His name is Jesus Christ (John 1:14). He was both God and man (Rom. 1:2-4). As an adult, Jesus told others who He was.

Faith in the biblical sense usually refers to the faith of men and women in God. Heb.11.1 is regarded as a definition of faith but it would be abstract and impractical without the many examples of faithful people which follow in that chapter. From the Bible records of the men and women mentioned in Hebrews it is clear that faith is very much a part of the relationship between God and His.
Faith is based on a personal belief and acknowledgement that there is a God and that one has devoted his or her life in God’s service. As such, in order for the reason for one’s faith to be proven there is a necessity of showing the reason for such existence which would be that it is plausible for God to exist. There is no need for scientific accuracy but only a moral certainty.
