In Christianity, the heart has a
certain primacy over the head;
for God judges hearts, not heads.
Faith is largely a matter of the heart—
indeed, its surrendering, even breaking.

--Mat Nelson,
The Challenge of Being a Christian
Faith in who Jesus is comes through an extended encounter with Jesus, through an extended reflection on one’s encounter with him. It is in and through an encounter with Jesus that persons with the eyes of faith, an openness to God’s grace, can come to see who he is and profess their faith in him.
