What does it mean to believe?

 by David Long

What does it mean to believe in God or Jesus? Does it mean just to have some mental acknowledgement of them? 

"He that believeth on the Son hath eternal life; but he that obeyeth not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him" (John 3:36).

"And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that were disobedient? And we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief" (Heb. 3:18-19).

To believe on Jesus means to obey Him. To not obey means to not believe even though a person may claim faith (James 2:17-26).
