In the New Testament, God considers our belief as obedience; correspondingly, He sees unbelief as disobedience. If we are still stuck in religious tradition, we must renew our minds to the current new-covenant definition of what it means to obey if we want to experience blessings. Believing in God’s love for us, as expressed through Christ, results in positive change in ourselves. Our trust in Him is authenticated when we reach that point where we have peace and can rest.
