A Devotional Corner

(A) Believe
That's like non-denial, no rebuttal of the fact of God's existence

(B) Know (Knowledge)
This is building on top of (A). You believe His existence. You may know Him through the Bible, Church, Christians etc.

(C) Faith in God
Building on top of (C). You trust Him, you place yourself in Him.

Relate to parable of the sower. (A) sounds more like a seed 2? (B) is like the seed 3, knows God, but still gets choked in our human life? (C) is seed 4, no doubts about God, you can submit yourself entirely to God.

Any other ways of seeing this? :)

An example: A Go-cart
(A) Do you believe a go-cart can roll down the hill?

(B) I know it can go down the hill. Tests has been conducted.

(C) Do you think that the go-cart can carry you down the hill?

i meant when we talk to non christians

How about, "I know and believe there is a God"? (seriously) Or..."I believe in God and I trust him".
