Believing that God exists and knowing Him are two very
different things. Even the devil believes God exists (and trembles
as a direct result). Believing in God and believing what He says
are also different.
Total faith is being absolutely convinced of something in every part of your being. Faith is strongest and most effective at that level. Some things only happen when one’s faith is total. That said, there are various levels and types of faith.
The essential part of your faith is to know God. Right behind knowing God is believing what He says. The most important part of believing what He says is to believe the Bible which is His account of mankind and Himself. Through divine inspiration, God created it and uses it as a living thing. Its function is to instruct you about God, existence, the things of God, of the world, and of evil. Aside from general instruction, He brings passages alive to speak to you. He brings laser-like focus and meaning to certain parts of the Bible to confer a specific understanding about what He wants you to know or consider.
