In this opinion, our knowledge to the seen and believable affairs would be the thoughts and faith respectively. This approch stated about the role of faith in the understanding that revelation invites us to believe and we cannot understand as long as we don’t believe. The Greek ideas have been used during Fathers period and its subject matter emphasized that there is a great and infinite God. The concept of God in Greek philosophy was close to the God of the Bible in some ways. Justin martyr confirmed that the Christian faith is the only valid and useful philosophy. More righteous God should be inclusive to the extent of justice’s concept. God worship must be a responsibility not just for the chosen nation, but other people also worship him. Augustine and holy texts considered attributes to God such as infinite, substantive, creative, love, goodness, justice, almighty, creator, eternal and penetrating. Augustine knew the God's righteousness attribute eternal and said about God that he is an eternal and immutable truth that is present in our minds and he agreed the formal theory of three hypostases (God, Christ or the Logos and the Holy Spirit). He was one of the greatest Christian theorist of the Trinity; the only real God has been formed from three persons under the names of Father, Son and the Holy Spirit in his view. The most important attribute of God is unity. The doctrine of grace is as the basic Christian concepts. Paul knew the grace implies on the act of mercy of God and also a major factor for salvation. Augustine knew the first humanity's sin great and unjust somehow our minds are unable to understand the damages caused by it. No one are known to be exempted of this just and true punishment unless, free mercy and grace of God release him. Religious reformation motion also questioned the authoritarianism in religious life and its emphasis on the personal aspect of faith that played a role in the transition from the medieval world to the modern era. The impact of Christian classical teachings and the ideas of Augustine was undeniable on the development of Christian theology. Keywords: belief, Christian theology, Augustine, faith 1. Introduction Converting has always been as one of the pillars of the Christian experience from the Jesus’ message about repentance and faith until now. Augustine’s belief to the Christ was also the base of his religious experience and the new moral perspective. "I quickly took Paul's book, opened it, and slowly read the part that my eyes saw at first: "not in party and drunkenness and debauchery and strife and jealousy, however, Jesus Christ covered the Lord and did not prepare conditions of fleshly lusts". I did not want to continue reading and I didn’t need it further. Immediately after finishing the sentence, something like the light was certainty penetrated in my heart and all the darkness of doubt got away from it" (Wurst, 2014: 186). Since the beginning of Christianity until the fourth century, Augustine can be considered as the greatest theologian among other theologians and he is known as the greatest and most influential Christian thinker in the history of the church (Thomas, 1998: 133). He was the father of West Church; his thinking surrounded a medieval thinking and had positive and negative deep effects on medieval. Church reformation motion and
