Subject: Difference in believing? |
Bible Note: mommapbs Bravo! The word believe in the greek is "Pisteuo", it has a far more intense meaning than our word "believe". In the Greek is means to become dependant on your belief, to be willing to stake your life on it. In James 2:19 it talks about what your saying. James 2:19-20 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe--and tremble! [20] But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? Just believing is not enough the demons believe because they have seen God, it is obeying God that makes the difference. To become dependant on Jesus for our salvation, trusting in Him and Him alone.
