Keep up the good work Michael. There is so much more to be learned and known on the subject of FAITH.

Faith is more than facts, its the Evidence of things not yet seen as the Bible says. :

Just as you said ''the answer is I just know  for I have known since birth that there was a Saviour'', I tell you this is true for everyone born into this world - Just as the bible says in the book of John 1 v9: "....That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world." - This explains y every human yerns for acceptance and a sense of belonginess, tryn to fill that space in our heart with all the wrong things like chasin afta money,gadgets,drugs,drinks etc but only God can fill that space.

So everyone really knows there is God but its just a matter of them confessing it. eg: a building shows evidence of a builder/architect, and Creation and man the evidence of God.

We all like Pleasure but People usually don't want accountability and Consequences and hence the try and Put away the  Reality of the existance of GOD Almighty. 

Faith in its simplest form is acting on what you believe in. SO I tell you everyone in this world has Faith!
  Agree?

Because if for eg: we didnt believe in gravity, people would not consider walking off a cliff or a storey building because nothing wud happen, They would float right? Not so.

The fact that you say you can't see gravity and so don't believe in it doesnt change anything, start working against gravity and you will know its there.

Eg2: when you board a flight from Heathrow airport to New york, thats faith - because you act on what you believe, that the plane can defy gravity and actually fly although you may not have seen that particular plane fly before,  
Also that the pilot knows what hes doing and how to get to New york regardless of your own assumptions upon seeing the pilot.

The Issue at hand is Not whether you believe or not: But your response to the Gospel before you die and face judgement:

Further reading:

2 Corinthians 5:10   
For we must all appear and be revealed as we are before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive [his pay] according to what he has done in the body, whether good or evil :considering what his purpose and motive have been, and what he has achieved, been busy with, and given himself and his attention to accomplishing.

To God be the Glory.
