Hello again!!
I took some time off because my life is just way too busy to blog daily! I may jump on the blogging again but not as a daily practice. Just whenever the Holy Spirit leads, like now.
What is Faith? What is BELIEF?
I was reading this morning in Exodus Chapter 6 and in verses 2 and 3, from the NASB (1995 edition) it says,

but by My name, Lord,
Simply put, this proves FAITH is all you need when you BELIEVE. Three men followed in FAITH!
Belief and faith go hand in hand!
Instead of signs and wonders

or gold dust
or through some false "prophet",
be like Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and KNOW JESUS is real just by following!
Jesus never visited me to show me He is real. I simply put my faith and trust in Him by the power of the gospel that I heard.
When some say they "believe" in Christ do they really have FAITH that what they cannot see is real? Did they really "believe" the gospel?
Today, take time to ask yourself, is my belief genuine, or is it simply words spoken with no true FAITH in the Lord Jesus Himself? Do you truly put your TRUST in Jesus!
Do you truly believe the gospel?
1 Corinthians 15:1-6

For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. After that He appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep;
