Faith in Jesus is followed by following Jesus in faith.  Saving belief leads us to step off the throne, take off the crown, and let Jesus take over ruling our hearts and lives. We haven’t really put our faith in Jesus if we are indifferent to what He wants and resistant to what He says.  That’s not trust. That’s a lack of trust.  That’s mistrust.  Real faith in Jesus makes us want to give up our sin and self-rule to follow His steps, His ways and His commands (although imperfectly executed) more fully over time.  Why? Because we are confident that life His way is better than any other option, and that for eternal life He is the only option.
