Little_1 -> RE: Is 'trust' and 'belief' the same thing? (6/30/2008 2:33:27 PM)
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.
