True Belief

We live in a time where belief is an easy thing. It's not that there are not challenges to our belief, but that our belief costs us very little. We are told by many that all we need is to confess once, to pray once, and that we are sealed forever in the grace of Christ. But is this true? Can there be a faith in Christ that doesn't save? John apparently thinks so. In our passage today, we are told that many believed in Jesus' name, but Jesus apparently didn't believe in their beliefs! Les us, then think through what we must have to have true belief; a trust in Christ that is mirrored by his entrusting himself to us.
