Just noticing the facts isn't enough. That brings
us to the second word, "assent," which means coming to
the point where you think those facts are true.
Assent means sorting through the evidence until
it makes sense in your own mind. Both notice and assent require
the use of our intellect, our brains. Biblical faith like we've
discussed before is not a leap into the dark---we are to use our
minds.
