What does the Bible say about believing with all your heart?
Answered in 3 sources
To believe with all your heart means to fully trust in Jesus Christ as the Son of God without reliance on personal righteousness.
In Acts 8:36-37, the Ethiopian eunuch asks Philip what hinders him from being baptized, to which Philip responds that if he believes with all his heart, he may. Believing with all your heart is not about having a perfect confidence or absence of doubts, but rather it is a deep-seated trust in Jesus Christ as the Son of God. This biblical belief encompasses both the intellect and affections, recognizing Jesus' divine authority and redemptive purpose. Paul echoes this in Romans 10, where he emphasizes that true belief is not merely mental assent but involves the whole heart and leads to righteousness.
