What does the Bible say about faith and belief?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that mere assent to God's truth, like that of demons, is not saving faith.

The Bible describes faith as more than just a cognitive agreement with the truth of God; it is a deep, saving faith that unites us with Christ. James 2:19 illustrates this by noting that even demons believe in God and tremble, highlighting that mere intellectual assent is insufficient for salvation. True faith involves not only acknowledgment of truth but also a heartfelt consent to Christ, making Him the focal point of our faith, as seen in Romans 5:1 and Ephesians 3:12.
