What does it mean to Believe?

 

Many people say I believe in Jesus!  But yet their life shows no reflection of the Life of Christ.  There are no fruits of the Spirit plainly seen in their life. 

Well I would like to give a brief definition of what it means to believe.

Imagine there is a cure for Cancer and you and I both know that there is a cure because we see many people taking this magic pill which heals the cancer in us.   Now the difference to show what it means to believe is.  You believe in the pill and I believe in the pill, however you decide to take the pill and it changes you, it heals you.  Well I believe in the pill but I don't take it.   Well I still believe that it exist and it can heal but if I do not personally take the pill, I can believe all I want with my mind but it will not heal me.  I must take the pill internally!  I will die of the Cancer if I don't!

Just like True Christianity, many people claim to be Christians and they believe in their mind that Jesus existed and died for their sins but have not accepted him in their heart.  They have not made the journey which is 18 inches from the head to the heart and until they do they will not make heaven their home.  We need to be Born Again!  We need to ask JESUS into our hearts! And when he does come in, which he will not force himself on anyone, your life will change.  People will notice the change in you.  You become a new creation, old things are passed away and all things are new.  That's what it means to BELIEVE!
