Believing



Is it possible to believe something without it producing some action or behavior?


Knowing the 'right answers' does not mean we believe them. To believe them means to act as though they're true. Dallas Willard


You will never know how much you believe something until it is a matter of life and death
C S Lewis


Most of what we think we see as the struggle OF faith is really the struggle to act as IF we had faith when in fact we don't. Dallas Willard

Believing starts out in our head but has to transfer to our behavior or its not believing.  Don’t confuse acceptance with behavior.  God’s grace and acceptance of us through Christ is a free gift.  “Grace means there is nothing I can do to make God love me more, and nothing I can do to make God love me less.” - Philip Yancey
