About this ebook
Throughout the Bible, we are presented with a beautiful and empowering truth: the transformative power of faith and belief in God. In this book we will not only highlight the positive outcomes of trust and obedience but also emphasize the incredible blessings and rest that come from having unwavering belief in our Creator. This book, invite us to embark on a journey of discovery, where belief in God's promises leads to profound transformation and a deepening relationship with Him.
When we choose to believe in God, amazing things happen. Mark 16:17-18 reminds us that signs and wonders follow those who believe in Jesus. By embracing faith and stepping out in obedience, we can experience the supernatural working of God in our lives. We have the authority to cast out demons, speak with new tongues, lay hands on the sick, and witness miraculous healing.
Jesus Himself assures us in John 14:12 that those who believe in Him will do even greater works than He did. This promise opens up a world of limitless possibilities as we trust in His power and purpose. Our belief in Jesus activates His transformative power within us, enabling us to impact the world around us in profound ways.
Hebrews 4:3 paints a beautiful picture of entering into God's rest through belief. It is an invitation to experience His peace, provision, and protection by placing our complete trust in Him. In the midst of life's challenges, uncertainties, and storms, we find solace and rest in our faith in God. He offers us a refuge where we can find true rest for our souls.
Moreover, this book remind us of the foundational truth that faith comes by hearing. Romans 10:17 assures us that hearing the Word of God ignites and strengthens our faith. As we immerse ourselves in the Scriptures and open our hearts to the truth, our belief in God is nourished and grows. It is through hearing and embracing His Word that our faith becomes a powerful force in our lives.
Belief in God is not limited to intellectual assent; it is a dynamic and transformative force that shapes our thoughts, actions, and experiences. It is a journey of trust, where we surrender our doubts and fears, and place our confidence in the One who is faithful and true. As we embrace faith and belief in God, we step into a realm where the impossible becomes possible, where His promises become our reality, and where we find purpose, joy, and fulfillment.
The Scriptures reveal the incredible power of faith and belief in God. They invite us to embrace trust and obedience, knowing that as we place our faith in Him, we will experience the blessings, rest, and transformation that only He can provide. May our hearts be filled with unwavering belief, and may our lives reflect the profound impact of trusting in our loving Creator as you descover the thruths of what it means to belief.

Dare to Belief - Dr Chris
INTRODUCTION.
Belief, as we explore from a biblical perspective, holds profound implications for what is to come. It is a powerful force that extends beyond the present circumstances and shapes our future with hope and expectation. The Scriptures offer us glimpses of the transformative nature of belief, unveiling the promises and blessings that await those who steadfastly trust in God.
Throughout history, the Bible has presented us with stories of individuals who exemplified unwavering belief in God's promises, leading to remarkable outcomes. Their experiences serve as a testament to the profound impact of belief on shaping what is to come. As we delve into the narratives and scriptural passages, we are invited to embrace a future-oriented perspective, eagerly anticipating the fulfillment of God's plans and purposes.
One notable example is found in the story of Abraham. In Romans 4:18-21, we witness Abraham's unwavering belief that he would become the father of many nations, even in the face of seemingly insurmountable circumstances. Despite his old age and the barrenness of Sarah's womb, Abraham remained fully convinced that God would fulfill His promise. This unwavering belief ultimately led to the birth of Isaac, marking the beginning of a lineage that would bring forth the Messiah. Abraham's story encourages us to embrace a future-oriented belief, confident in God's faithfulness to fulfill His promises.
Another powerful illustration can be seen in the account of the woman with the issue of blood in Mark 5:25-34. This woman, plagued by a chronic ailment for twelve years, believed that even touching the hem of Jesus' garment would bring about her healing. With unwavering faith, she reached out and was instantly made well. Her belief not only resulted in her physical healing but also brought about a transformative encounter with the Son of God. Her story reminds us of the power of belief in anticipating and experiencing divine breakthroughs in our lives.
Belief also holds significant implications for our eternal destiny. John 3:16 encapsulates the essence of belief's impact on the future: For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
This foundational truth highlights that belief in Jesus Christ secures our future with God for eternity. It assures us of the promise of eternal life and a glorious future in His presence.
Moreover, belief in the second coming of Christ shapes our perspective on what is to come. The Scriptures repeatedly point to the future return of Jesus, an event that believers eagerly anticipate. In 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, we are reminded of the glorious hope that awaits us: For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.
Belief in the second coming fuels our anticipation of a future where we will be united with Christ and experience the fullness of His kingdom.
Belief from a biblical perspective shapes what is to come. It instills hope, fuels expectation, and directs our gaze towards the fulfillment of God's promises. The stories of Abraham, the woman with the issue of blood, and the assurance of eternal life all point to the transformative power of belief in shaping our future. As we embrace a future-oriented belief, may we eagerly anticipate the unfolding of God's plans and walk in faith, knowing that what is to come far surpasses our present circumstances.
With that, let us explore BELIEF.
DEFINITION OF BELIEVE.
To believe is to be completely convinced and persuaded of something based on what has been seen, heard, or experienced. It goes beyond intellectual agreement and requires placing full confidence and trust in the truth. Belief transforms our lives and influences our thoughts, attitudes, and actions. It is an active response that shapes our worldview and motivates us to live in accordance with what we believe to be true. May our belief be rooted in personal encounters with God and may it inspire us to live out our convictions.
To believe, as expressed by the Greek word pisteuo
(pist-yoo'-o), is not merely a passive acceptance of information. It goes beyond intellectual agreement and encompasses a deep conviction and trust in the truth, based on what has been seen, heard, or experienced. It involves being completely and wholeheartedly persuaded of the reality and authenticity of what is believed.
Belief is a transformative state of being, where one places utmost confidence and trust in the object of belief. It is a personal acceptance and embracing of the truth as relevant and applicable to one's own life. This conviction empowers the believer to
