In this sermon excerpt, the speaker argues that genuine belief in God must translate into concrete actions, especially in personal relationships. He notes that the Gospel of John frequently uses the term “belief,” while Matthew and Luke emphasize “faith.” Citing the biblical principle that “faith without works is dead,” he explains a subtle Greek linguistic distinction: “faith” (pistis) is a noun, whereas “belief” (pisteuo) is a verb—an active, doing word. Applying this to his own life, he asserts that believing God wants him to be a better father and husband obligates him to take specific steps toward those goals.

I believe that God wants me to be a better father. I believe that God wants me to be a better husband. So I need to take some actions in response to this belief. You see, the Book of John used the word belief a lot. You know, the Book of Matthew and Luke, they use the word faith. The Bible says faith without works is dead. The Greek word for faith and the Greek word for belief are very similar to one another, small differences. Faith is a noun, belief is a verb, is something you do. So if I'm believing that God wants me to be a better husband, there's something I need to do. In response to that belief system.
