True faith involves believing something about yourself: that you are a sinner. It involves believing that Christ is the Son of God. It includes believing that He died for us on the cross and paid the penalty for our sins. It is an act of the mind. It is an act of the will. But it is also an act of the heart.

Matthew 7:21”Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. 22 “Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ 23”And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’

The Christian Gospel alone, among all the religions of the world, offers a different method. It is a method in which someone else — God Himself — supplies the salvation.

It's so simple we confuse ourselves making it complex.

Jesus lives. If you need to, ask Him to show himself to you. Jesus answers prayer.

Anyone with a functioning brain believes in Jesus Christ. The question to some is whether he was the son of God or not.

...23And Jesus said to him, "'If You can?' All things are possible to him who believes." 24Immediately the boy's father cried out and said, "I do believe; help my unbelief."

IKt is the human condition - we aspire to do God's will for us and most of us are incapable of even wanting to be 100% in His will because our humanity makes and keeps us imperfect except for how His sacrifice made us saints in His eyes.

It really really bugs me when people say “accept” instead of “believe”.
