To me, believing is a cold, emotionless knowledge of a fact, like believing a door is shut, or not.
But *TRUSTING* is a warm, personal matter of taking a chance and relying on someone for something.
Like trusting Jesus WILL forgive me of my sins, and give me eternal life!!

I disagree that believing is a simple step. Believing is actually really really hard when you're so full of doubt, even though you hate the doubt and want to believe so bad.

If we truly believe in Christ, we will believe EVERYTHING He says. If He says "repent or perish", it means if we do not repent, we will perish. Repentance is not a work. It is a gift from God. We cannot turn from sin, and to Jesus without the work of the Holy Spirit. Therefore it is not OUR work, but the Holy Spirit's workmanship in us. To not repent, is to deny the workmanship that the Holy Spirit is commanding us to do in and through us! Repent and believe for the kingdom of Christ is near!!!

I believe I’ve always had Jesus Christ in my heart, but I truly gave myself to him about 3 years ago, I pray to him quite regular, I try to attend my local church quite regular, I get quite emotional taking the holy Sacrament, I found the Pledge pray very helpful, and have said it with all my heart, 🙏🕊✝️💚🌱x

It means to accept Jesus in give your life to the lord

Faith without works is dead. Righteous deeds and obedience to God's commandments are produced from a genuine saving faith. Works cannot save a person in and of themselves. God's grace saves us through the means of an enduring faith in the Person and redemptive work of our Redeemer and Messiah Yehusha. This grace transforms us from the inside out making us a new creation. The Ruach of Elohim gives us the desire and power to be obedient to His commandments as we daily surrender our will and lives to Him.

I would go into pistos (believe) but suffice to say that all the way back to Aristotle the word means to logically be persuaded that something presented is true. Aristotle was referring to how the mind accepts philosophical arguments, and gave the word a strict definition to explain how one accepts such arguments (from reasoning). Faith in the gospel, that Christ died for our sins and that he was resurrected from the dead for our justification, means that we are persuaded in our minds that the facts of this gospel are true.

Does it also mean commitment and submission?

I meditated on this question a few years back what it truly meant to believe, also I asked myself another question “ do I really know Jesus”. By that I mean in the way you hear some preachers or other Christians say they have a personal relationship with Jesus, some would straight up tell you they actually knew him personally. But when I was meditating on the question I thought of “ how do I know anything about Jesus” the answer was from the Bible or from another person, the other person also got it from the Bible or another person. So it always lead back to the Bible or another person, so I had to admit I only knew about Jesus from what other people had said I didn’t actually “know him”. Than I thought about “ where does the information about Jesus in the Bible come from?” I found out that once again the Bible is only the opinion of what others say about Jesus, Jesus himself didn’t leave any writings so the information comes from people who claimed to know Jesus. So everything I knew about Jesus was from others I did not know him personally, at this point I was broken and I decided to no longer be a Christian because I felt it all to be a lie. Because i truly believe if everyone who says they know Jesus would sit down tonight and ask the same questions you will do the same.

I've asked so many times in my life what believe really means and heard a lot of opinions that's not biblical. But the bible is very specific what believe and love is for Jesus and that is not knowing but doing what Jesus says. John 3:36. John uses the word believe and disobeys interchangelibly.

Even God when He spoke to Jesus He said there is my Son Listen to Him. Of everything God could have said or explain the unknown that is what He said. Something to think about...

[jeffreyhooper]

I do believe in him with all my heart with Jesus I believe that he's real but I feel like I've been messing up to this day with him and struggling very hard with working with his roles and I don't understand and it's very hard for me to understand some of his roles

I am really struggling with a question right now. I have been a follower of Christ for years now, but a recent question has arisen in my mind about what it means to "trust in Christ." The question is, when we say this, are we saying trust in the person and work of Christ, or trusting in the person and believing the facts of His work to be true. It is causing me trouble in my spirit because I know I have been saved, but am now feeling that I have lost my salvation because I am struggling with this question here. I truly appreciate your responses and ask for scriptural support for the answer. I believe it means to trust in the person and work, but I am having fear because I can't find a verse that explicitly declares that, besides Mark 1:15, Romans 1:16 (but when it says believe here I have a question about the Greek grammar and the target of belief in the verse in relation to my question), and 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. Thank you and God bless!

Does the belief in God change a person?

[willierhone]

To believe is not knowing the chair once tested believing does not exist likewise once I know Jesus I don’t need to believe I know therefore I am dead and I stand in his presence it requires faith in the faithfulness of Jesus not my faithfulness which does not compare to Jesus’s thanks or sharing
