Romans 12:3 says, “For by the grace given to me I ask each of you not to think more highly of yourself than you ought to think, but rather to think of yourself with sober judgment, on the measure of faith that God has assigned to each of you." This is why whatever a person's beliefs are about future events, this is what they model their present actions in life upon in an attempt to make their current beliefs become a future reality. The way people lead their lives is explained once again by the biblical text which states “faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” – Hebrews 11:1. A person's actions that are currently evident in the life he lives reflect his belief in the future in things unseen. Tillich's argument that everyone has faith can be interpreted broadly to mean that everything one does or happens to him happens for a reason, thus making the proverb "everything happens for a reason"”
