True Belief

There is one thing you need to keep in mind as you work through these things and that is that you need to work very hard to go from acting like you believe these things to actually believing them and living in the light of your beliefs. You need to go from acting like a Christian to being a Christian. This is what walking in faith, or by faith means. Being one who loves God, who knows Christ, who trusts in the Spirit to lead and guide. Lots of people are wanna-bees with regard to Christianity. Your calling is to be a Christian—a Christ-ian. There is a sense in which, because your faith is growing, that you should act like everything you are asserting is true. But you need to know that that is only the beginning of walking in faith. Faith means trusting, and that means that you must actually let go of your pride, your idols, your fears, and your desires and trust that God is God. Not just act like you believe it.
