I Believe
When we say, I believe, what should we mean by that? James 2:19 tells us, “You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder.” It’s clear: believing in our head isn’t enough. Biblical belief requires more than intellectual agreement—it demands our full surrender. We must completely commit our body, mind, and soul to Jesus Christ.
