Simply believing something does not mean you take it to heart or are faithful. Many believe in God, but are not followers of Him. Even Satan believes in God, but hates Him.

@Quicksilver87 Faith is simply taking God at His Word. Hebrews 11:1 teaches, "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.”
We can see that even when Jesus walked amongst the people of His time, some still rejected Him, even after seeing great miracles. If He were visible today, people would still doubt. However, He is visible today, for those who wish to find Him and even for those who don’t. The difference is, some know He is real and have decided not to follow, while others just flat-out refuse to acknowledge Him.
Though we can’t physically see Jesus, He is alive, and we shall see Him one day. How do I know that? There are spiritual evidences of His existence.
When you have a court trial, you present evidence, right? Well, in the spiritual, invisible world, the evidence of God abiding in us, is the Holy Spirit. We, who are followers of Jesus, know that he abides in us, by the Spirit which he has given us.

@Quicksilver87 Some make faith harder than it has to be. You’re simply telling Jesus that you believe He lives, died on the cross to pay for your sins, and you believe He will forgive you of your sins. You ask Him to forgive you of your sins, then walk daily with Him and for Him. He does all the saving. All you have to do is invite Him into your heart and life. This tells Jesus you really want to have a relationship with Him. He turns no one away.

@LadyGrace I want to believe, but I can't believe to Him if something that offensive and degrading.
I think you know what I mean.
I won't follow 100%, I have common sense. Isn't that extremist to follow what He said fully without questioning it?

@Quicksilver87 I don’t understand your first sentence.
Jesus wants us to follow Him all the way...fully trusting. He doesn’t want half our heart.
