How do you know that you believe in Jesus?

This is only addressed to Christians so for those who are not, you may take your seat. Thank you very much. 馃ぃ

The devil believes in Jesus and trembles. My relationship with Him is what matters.

@CallistaSloane The reason you hang with older Christians is because they likely have gone through the same issues you are presently having. Yes they are not perfect. No one is but God but they have had years of experience you haven't. I am sure there is someone you can connect with in the Christian community that will help assure you in your struggles. I know I have had my share of them and I have all too often failed. But I pick myself up and press on toward the fullness found only in Christ Jesus our Lord knowing that He is faithful and shall surely save me unto that day.

@CallistaSloane Read the Bible in the morning, tithe, and be obedient, and God will bless you, you'll see.

Straight-forward gospel in a nutshell is in I Corinthians 15: 3-4. If you truly believe this then Jesus said you belong to Him. ( Read I John ) - As believers we have been given ( past tense ) His Holy Spirit. One of the Spirit's functions is to counsel us in the word and to convince us of the truth of it during our lifetime. As time passes and you ''experience'' more & more of God's working ( He is at work in you - Philippians 1: 6 ) then you will k now that you know that you KNOW.

There is a test of belief which I heard from the preacher of the only church that was mixed race in a southern town with maybe 20 churches. He told us that if we went to bed and went to sleep without worrying about something, we were believers.

You got to go beyond believing in Jesus.. If you are a Christian you Believe Jesus.. You believe what He said.. You believe His teachings.. You trust in His promises..

There are a lot of people in this world who believe in Jesus but when it comes to believing Jesus they pick and choose, accepting some of his words and reject others..

When it comes to Jesus it is pointless believing in Him if you don't believe Him..

@Adstar Yup. I get that. Perhaps my real question is how do I know if my faith is genuine?

@CallistaSloane
Easy. Ask yourself two questions..

1) Do i believe Jesus ?

2) Do i trust that the Atonement Jesus secured by His death on the cross pay the penalty for all my transgressions against His will..

If you can answer yes to both questions, you can know your Faith is genuine..
