Scripture interpreted
There is a difference between believing something about Jesus and believing in him.
Biblical faith is more than acknowledging that Jesus existed or agreeing with certain facts. It is placing our trust, hope and confidence in Christ himself.
Scripture repeatedly calls us not merely to know about him, but to believe in him — to rely on the one whom the Father sent.
“This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.” (John 6:29)
