FAITH VS BELIEF

I’ve always believed that Faith was stronger than Belief. As I grew in the Faith, I would hear how the two are used interchangeably. Do we not know the difference? Do I?

Faith and Belief are not the same. The Biblical definition of faith – “Faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see” (Hebrews 11:1). I like KJV…”Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Some Scriptures are hard for me to recite in another version. Some Scriptures seems more fluid in King James. The dictionary definition of faith – Complete trust or confidence in someone or something. Faith in its truest from is when you have confidence in God to the point that it causes you to act.

James 2:19-21 KJV

19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? (ABRAHAM believed what GOD said!)

Belief on the other hand, The dictionary definition of belief – An acceptance that a statement is true or that something exists. Therefore, we can believe and not have faith.

Think About It?

Prayer

In the last two months or so, my Prayer life has grown from a few fast minutes to extended Bible reading and meditation. My Prayers are not only for myself and my mind but, for others and their minds. OH MY LORD, what is happening? In our MINDS, HOMES, NEIGHBORHOODS, COMMUNITIES, CITIES, STATES AND COUNTRY. When we have nothing else to depend on, we must look to a HIGHER POWER! You may not agree with my belief but let me have mine; and I want throw shade on yours. As my Pastor wrote: ‘Father God, in these divisive times, give us wisdom on what changes we need to make to bring unity as we celebrate our diversity. In Jesus’ Name, Amen!’ That means a mind change from exclusion to…well…OK.
