Biblical belief, or “faith”, includes a volitional aspect as well…Repentance is belief in action. Repentance and belief are, biblically speaking, parts of the same whole…two sides of the same coin…We believe not only that Jesus is Lord (as a fact of history), but that He is our rightful Sovereign as well, and we submit to Him (as an act of volition)…Faith is belief in action. In fact, there is no noun for faith in Hebrew, because faith does not exist apart from its action. Faith starts with mental assent, but if this mental assent does not lead to obedience, it is not yet “faith”…Biblical faith is the assumption of a new posture toward the Lordship of Christ and His finished work on the cross.
