John 8:31-32
"To the Jews who had believed Him, Jesus said, "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.""
Notice that Jesus made this statement to THOSE WHO BELIEVED HIM.
You must understand that it takes more than just believing what Jesus said in order to experience the true benefits of His Teachings!
He went on to say, "IF YOU HOLD TO MY TEACHING, YOU ARE REALLY MY DISCIPLES. THEN YOU WILL KNOW THE TRUTH & THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE!"
Therefore, Belief in itself lacks Faith!
Believing will allow you to listen to what God has to say, but Faith will grant you the courage to grab hold of God's Promises!
(Eg. Jesus teaches us that "we shall lay our hand's upon the sick & they shall recover", we can believe this teaching, but never apply its truth's. Or we can combine our Faith with our Belief & experience the freedom of this truth & watch people get healed!)
BELIEF LISTENS, BUT FAITH REACTS TO GOD'S WORD!
