Belief is the acceptance that something is true. In the Bible, belief must also lead to action in order to be of value (Romans 10:9-10, John 12:42-43). As James 2:14-26 tells us, even the demons believe in God. Belief (or faith as James calls it) must be accompanied by deeds in order to be real faith at all (James 2:26). ‘Belief’, ‘faith’ and ‘trust’ are often used to translate the same idea in the original languages of the Bible.
