摘　　要：Faith and well-being are the main concern of this paper. The connection between the two is discussed in three lessons that Soren Kierkegaard provides in his religious discourses What We Learn from the Lilies in the Field and from the Birds of the Air. The importance of the connection between faith and well-being, especially within Kierkegaard＇s authorship, derives from his definition of a human being as a synthesis of the infinite and the finite, of the temporal and the eternal, of freedom and necessity. It is important to note that this synthesis is not yet a self, not yet an authentic human being. In order to become a self a deviation is needed, a split within this elementarysynthesis. Only upon achieving such split a new synthesis is reconstructed, the synthesis that amounts to an authentic selfhood. The believer who has stopped worrying over his/her mundane concerns, by shifting its existential gravity towards God, will then have to reconstruct a new synthesis. This new synthesis will resemble the fundamental one in almost every aspect. But the difference would lie in choosing God, in the believer＇s hidden inwardness. Faith＇s fruits of eternal happiness are attained strictly through the journey undertaken by the believer＇s inner self.
