What does it mean to believe?

About 35 years ago, a controversy broke out. The controversy was around what it means to believe. The one side said that belief is simple, childlike agreement and trust that Jesus is your Saviour. The other side said belief is a wholehearted surrender to Jesus as Saviour and Lord. Here…
