Week 17 - What Does Genuine Faith Look Like?

Genuine faith in Jesus goes beyond verbal profession to produce visible transformation in our lives. True belief in Christ as the promised Messiah results in new birth, which naturally flows into love for God and other believers. This love expresses itself through willing obedience to God's commands, not from pressure or guilt, but from a transformed heart. When we're truly born of God, obedience becomes the natural response rather than a burden, though we may still struggle at times. The key difference is having a heart that desires to follow God's authority rather than consistently resisting it.
