10. The Lord said to Thomas,

"Because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." (John 20:29)

This does not imply a faith divorced from any internal acknowledgment of truth. Rather it means that those people are blessed who have not seen the Lord with their eyes, as Thomas had, and yet believe that He exists. For this is seen in the light of truth drawn from the Word.
