#GraceNotWorksWe discuss the difference between the Greek concept of belief (pistuo/ pistis) in the New Testament and how Americans typically understand the word believe. We explain that biblical belief isn't just intellectual agreement with facts-like believing George Washington was the first president-but rather a commitment and surrender to Jesus, similar to saying I do in marriage. We clarify that this commitment-based faith isn't salvation by works, but rather a personal dedication that naturally leads to changed behavior and actions.
