Faith or Belief?

“Whatever has been born of God conquers the world. This is the victory that has conquered the world: our faith.”

1 John 5:4

Do you have Faith in God or do you simply Believe in God? You can believe in God without having faith in Him. Many people do. When you confuse faith and belief, faith get's left behind and belief becomes the mark of a Christian. The Bible says that even demons "believe and tremble."

To believe may be nothing more than recognizing the existence of someone, even God. Having faith in Him begins when you start trusting Him for your needs, wants and very existence. Of course you can't have faith without belief, but you can believe without faith!

To begin the walk of faith is really quite simple. Pick a need that you have and begin to trust God for that need. It may be something quite simple or even small, but when you trust God you are beginning to walk in faith. And don't forget that faith is the victory that conquers the world!
