It is easy to say you believe in God when “God” can mean whatever you want Him to mean.
A force that brings things together. The universe working in your favor. Energy, luck, manifestation, positive thoughts. Those ideas can comfort you without ever asking anything from you.
But Jesus is different. You cannot reduce Him to a feeling or a force. He has a cross, a resurrection, a name, a Lordship. He does not simply promise to make life work out. He calls me to repent, surrender, follow, and belong to Him.
That is why my faith is not in something out there. It is in Someone who came for me, died for my sin, and rose again.
I don't just believe in God. I belong to Jesus.
