I was reading a book today by Derek Prince and he explained the difference between trust and faith quite clearly:

quote:

ORIGINAL Derek Prince

Faith is an act
Trust is an attitude

e.g. Psalm 37:5
Commit thy way unto the Lord;
(the act - i.e. faith)
Trust also in Him and He will bring it to pass. (the attitude - i.e. trust)

Commit describes a single act of faith; trust describes a continuing attitude that follows the intitial act of commiting. After that God takes over and He brings it to pass.


In other words:

quote:

ORIGINAL Little_1

The difference between faith and trust:

"Faith is the starting point and trust is seeing it through to the finish." [:)]


So often we commit things to God in faith initially but fail to go on to continually trust Him (i.e. we take back what we commited to Him). [:(]

I like that, Little_1! Salvation is both a crisis of commitment (initial faith) AND a process of continuing attitude (trust). Well stated.

To trust is to put our belief in action.
