In
our day, belief is almost always limited to a kind of cognitive activity. If I
believe something, then something is happening in my mind. So if I say, “I believe that Jesus is Lord” it sounds as if I am saying I believe some fact
about Jesus, i.e. that he is Lord. Now there’s nothing wrong with believing
such a thing, but the question still remains: Does believing that fact make a
difference in how I live?
