What is the Difference in "Faith" and "Believe?"
What is the Difference in "Faith" and "Believe?" Is the 2nd in a series of Articles on Bible Faith and How it does and does not works!
"Faith" is information. Information is a "noun." Faith is a noun that tells us what we have. Believe, on the other hand, is a verb. Believe is what we do. Believe is acting upon our faith or our advance information.
"Believe", in the Bible, does not happen just between our ears. Believe is not just agreeing mentally with what God said in a scripture. Believe, in the Bible sense, is acting out what is contained in the "if" part of our advance information. To put it differently, Noah acted out his part (building the ark etc.) of the advance information God gave him. (As we have seen already, this advance info is what the Bible refers to as faith.)Finally, most of the faith, religious faith, word of faith, Christian faith, faith works and faith in God teachings and movements fail to make the above distinction. Again, they are flawed to the extent they do not see this distinction.
Faith is not a Strong belief. So it is not enough to believe; we must also do. Therefore, the Bible Faith is "Believing in God's Word, and Acting on that Belief." Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. The object of our faith is the cross of christ and in his finished work. In that we may in return have life, our faith in that object is the only work we need do.
