True Meaning of Faith in God
I
So many people believe, but so few understand what faith in God really means, what they need to do to beat with God's heart. So many know the word "God," know phrases like the "work of God," but they don't know Him, nor what He really does. No wonder their faith is blind. They're not serious about this because it's unfamiliar and strange. So they are far short of God's demands. If you don't know God and His work, can you be fit for His use? Can you fulfill the desire of God? Believing that God exists is not enough. That's too simple, it's too religious. It's not the same as real belief in Him. True faith in God means you experience His works and His words on the faith that He's sovereign over everything. Then you can free yourself from corrupt disposition and fulfill God's desires in your life and come to know Him. That's the way to true belief in God. That's the way to true belief in Him.

So many think of believing as something simple and shallow. Such belief is meaningless. How can God approve? They're on the wrong path. Those who believe in letters, in hollow teachings still don't know that their faith is unreal and won't be approved by God. Still they pray for peace and grace. Stop and think if faith is that easy. Is it just to ask for peace and grace? Can you fulfill the desire of His, when you still resist Him, not knowing Him? Believing that God exists is not enough. That's too simple, it's too religious. It's not the same as real belief in Him. True faith in God means you experience His works and His words on the faith that He's sovereign over everything. Then you can free yourself from corrupt disposition and fulfill God's desires in your life and come to know Him. That's the way to true belief in God. That's the way to true belief in God. That's the way to true belief in Him.
