So, what is the cause of belief? Its not hearing, we agree.
The middle stage of life in Christ is belief, yet belief is the start and finishing point of redemption; the purification of Christ's application of sacrificial offerings on the Cross for our sake..Receiving Christ, is where I die to the right to myself, and therefore live my life fully dependent on God's redemptive facts thru Christ Jesus who becomes my Lord in a practical and real way thru the Holy Spirit's role of guidance and empowerment. Thus, we have the Bible say:
(John 1:12): ...New American Standard Bible (NASB)
12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name,
Belief therefore, starts in the heart, and leads to the mind and our soul which controls the outcome of our bodily actions; the part of us that makes up who we are agrees with God wholeheartedly.
