Certainly, every man is having something of which he has built his trust upon and it is very precious to that person because he is thoroughly convinced or persuaded into it and it come by having enough ideas, concepts, opinions that the person have gathered through acquiring information and experiences.
Christians belief that the holy bible is the word of God and it is inspired by his spirit and so therefore we are actually convinced with it since is the only words that can help us to know the almighty proper. So our doings and dont's are in the holy bible, we read it in churches, talk on with believers, teach our friends and relatives for them to know it because it is the ultimate truth. We meditate on it too. It is therefore important to have a belief since you are what you belief, your attitude or your behaviour portrays what you belief. Christians belief in YAHWEH, Baptism and Salvation. So their life is on future redemption.
Faith on the other hand goes beyond beliefs but comprises that. Faith is an action that a believer put across to demonstrate what he beliefs. So if you have a belief and you cannot demonstrate it practically then it is not faith. Faith moves us to do things that are righteous at the sight of “YAHWEH”.
When you read James 2:17-22, it tells us more about how faith is, that is faith without works is faithless. It also tells us how Abraham demonstrated his faith by offering his son Isaac on the altar for YAHWEH. So we have to note that faith is been demonstrated by our works.
So it is very important to have faith in order to demonstrate what you belief.
Nowadays churches have adopted some beliefs and it has change their faith. Obviously, yesterday churches and today, one can draw a line between them, that’s why Jeremiah 6:16 says “thus says YAHWEH “Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths where the good way is, and walk in it, then you will find rest for your souls.” But they said we will not walk in it.” So this actually tells us that Christians has lost the path of which our savior wants us to follow hence our faith is shaking perhaps our own Beliefs.
