“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved” (Acts 16:31). We have pitifully reduced the word “believe” to mere mental assent. “Belief” in the NT Greek is much more comprehensive than that. It means to “trust in, cling to, rely on, believe into, entrust (trust into), adhere to, place full confidence in, to give one’s heart to, to lives one’s life by the reality of His Lordship”. Belief leads to committing your entire being to Jesus. Implied in the word belief is total surrender. Are you a real believer?
