Is it real faith or just mental assent?
…if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. – Romans 10:9-10 NKJV
Mental assent looks like real faith in that people that mentally assent to the truth of God’s Word agree that the Word of God is true. But the difference in real faith and mental assent is that someone that has real Bible faith believes that the Word of God is true and that what the Word promises is “personally for them”.
God’s Word is true whether you believe it or not, but do you believe that everything that He has promised in His Word is for you personally? This is the most important question.
God wants to bless you but is limited in a sense by your faith (or lack of it). Faith is merely trusting that God is who He says that He is, that He has what He says He has and that He can do what He says that He says that He can do. Find out about God from His Word, begin to know Him at a deeper level and you will begin to trust Him at a deeper level as well!
