Unfortunately you do not appear to have any understanding of what the concept of ‘belief’ meant to the Jewish apostles that wrote the NT.

Belief requires a total lifetime of following what he taught, and living as he lived.

You have not ‘believed’ until you have lived your whole life as he lived, in obedience to his teachings.

Are you ready for belief?

Ahh, but here’s the rub ... how does one manifest that he is indeed a believer in the Lord Jesus?

“What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them?” ( James 2:14)
