Mat 22:36-40 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Leviticus 26-14 But if you will not listen to me and carry out all my commands, and if you reject my decrees and abhor my laws and fail to carry out all my commands and so violate my covenant then I will do this to you: I will bring upon you sudden terror, wasting diseases and fever that will destroy your sight and drain away your life. you will plant seed in the ground in vain because your enemies will eat it. I will set my face against you so that you will be defeated by your enemies; those who hate you will rule over you, and you will flee even when no one is pursuing you.

Originally posted by josephwhmmm. yes, but belief in Christ is not a passive verb, it is an action verb. Belief in Christ, out of necessity, requires us to respond to that grace imparted freely by obeying the commands of Jesus to love God and walk humbly with him, to love mercy by loving our neighbors and to honor our parents with our just and upright behavior
John 6:28,29
[b]Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.[/b]
Originally posted by DowardThis is the crux of the probem. Christians in general do not apply that meaning to the word 'belief'. They are of the opinion that 'belief' and 'to believe in Christ' means to profess this with their mouth, and not necessarily with action.

How do you counteract this idea or how do you prove that 'belief' is an action verb.
