The ones that read, believe and practise the word of God. The word of God is good medice, when we realize that we are sick and we need Jesus, and we accept him as our Lord and Savior and we start walking according to the word, we become believers and we start to recieve His blessings.



What's your definition?

1Tim 4:12 Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.



1Tim 6:2 And those who have believing masters, let them not despise them because they are brethren, but rather serve them because those who are benefited are believers and beloved. Teach and exhort these things.



Act 5:14 And believers were increasingly added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women





Believers:

be-lev�-ers (in the King James Version and the Revised Version (British and American) of Ac 5:14, for posteuontes, the Revised Version, margin "believing"; in the King James Version of 1Ti 4:12 for hoi pistoi, the Revised Version (British and American) "them that believe"): Equivalent phrases, they (he, she) that believe (for hoi pepisteukotes; hoi, pisteuontes; (adj.), pistos, etc.) occur frequently as a regular description of those who professed their faith in Christ, and attached themselves to the Christian church. The one essential condition of admission into the Christian community was, that men should believe in Jesus Christ (Ac 16:31). The actual experiences of the men thus denoted varied with all the possible degrees and modifications of FAITH (which see). Believers are nowhere in the New Testament distinguished as a subordinate class from the "Christians who know" as in the Gnostic antithesis of pistikoi and gnostikoi, "believers" and "knowers."

Jude,

The believer totally surrenders His or her will to doing God's will. He gave His all, He wants our all, but He will not force us to give our all, until we realize His all, and we volunraily give him our all.

I really never thought of it until I was asked one day while I was being admitted to the Hopsital.



I told the lady I was a believer, she got real frustrated with my answer because I would not give her a religious answer and I was not trying to be diifficult.



It always amazed me how some that said they where Christians, told you what they believed the word of God said, instead of believing what is said.



It is not popular in a lot of religious circles to believe the word of God for some THINK they have to tell The Lord what He meant.



If you notice the word believe or that form is used over two hundred times in the new testament.



My definition of believe is acting as though the word of God is true, and being diligent to stay in that posture, for the unbelieving will try to complicate the word of God.



There is no Discussion it is the truth.



Now if we can get some to believe the word of God concerning The Holy Spirit we would turn the world upside down overnight.

PassedOverInChrist,



James 2:19 "You believe that God is one. You do well, The Demons also believe, and shrudder".



The Demons believe that God is one, but they rebelled against God. Faith without works is useless.



Knowing the word without application of the word to your life doesn't make you a believer, when you believe you surrender your will and do God's will.

Blessings.
