BELIEVE, BELIEVER -- to place one's trust in God's truth; one who takes God at His word and trusts in Him for salvation.

To the Jews who believed in him Jesus said:
If you make my word your home
you will indeed be my disciples,
you will learn the truth
and the truth will make you free. - John 8:31-32 -

A belief that saves is one that rests in the finished work of Christ; it trusts God alone for salvation.

Yes, God loved the world so much
that he gave his only Son,
so that everyone who believes in him may not be lost
but may have eternal life. - John 3:16 -

Believers are those who have trusted God with their will as well as their mind. Some of the classic New Testament references dealing with belief are; - Acts 16:31 - They told him, Become a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, and your household too. We had to become believers in Christ Jesus no less than you had, - Gal. 2:16 -

Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ
has been begotten by God;
and whoever loves the Father that begot him
loves the child whom he begets. - 1John 5:1 -

Man was created to see God. By sin, man lost the blessedness for which he was made, and found the misery for which he was made. He did not keep what was good, even though he could keep it easily. Without God it goes badly for us. Our efforts are in vain without God. Man cannot look for God unless God himself teaches him, or find him unless he reveals himself. God created man in the image so that he might be aware of him, think about him, and love him. The believer does not try to understand so that he may believe, but he believes so that he may understand - for if he did not believe, he would not understand. - Saint Anselm of Canterbury -

I have through years of reading, pondering, reflecting and contemplating, the 3 things that last; FAITH . HOPE . LOVE and I would like to made available my sharing from the many thinkers, authors, scholars and theologians whose ideas and thoughts I have borrowed. God be with them always. Amen!

I STILL HAVE MANY THINGS TO SAY TO YOU BUT THEY WOULD BE TOO MUCH FOR YOU NOW. BUT WHEN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH COMES, HE WILL LEAD YOU TO THE COMPLETE TRUTH, SINCE HE WILL NOT BE SPEAKING AS FROM HIMSELF, BUT WILL SAY ONLY WHAT HE HAS LEARNT; AND HE WILL TELL YOU OF THE THINGS TO COME.

HE WILL GLORIFY ME, SINCE ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. EVERYTHING THE FATHER HAS IS MINE; THAT IS WHY I SAID: ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. - JOHN 16:12-15 -
