Believing is only the first step
When we believe something, we have just begun our first step. How we are willing to follow that path and contiunue that walk are crucial for our growth toward whatever we believe in.
For example: when we believe in eating balanced health food will bring us good health, that's the first step to bring us to good health. Then we have to be willing to eat healthy and continue to learn about what food consider being healthy and how to get a balance meal from them to meet our goal. Progressive growth will bring us gradually to the benefits of good health. Only believing will not bring us the benefits.
We do not only take the first step, but we must be willing to follow through and continue to gain more knowledge as we walk the path. Likewise with religion, when we only take the first step by believing, and do not follow the path by learning more His Word or practice what we learn and obey them as we walk the faith, how can we grow and claim the benefit of eternal life?
"We please God by what we do and not only by what we believe." James 2:24
