Faith is much like a journey -- it’s not just about reaching a destination but about the transformation that happens along the way. Here are the journey markers:
BELIEVE – Faith starts with belief. It is more than knowing about God -- it is trusting in His love and promises. As John 3:16 reminds us: “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” Belief is the first step of surrender, a foundation on which everything else is built.
BEHAVE – True belief changes how we live. As James 2:17 says, “Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.” When we trust in God, our behaviors shift -- we serve more, love deeper, and reflect His character in our choices. Walking with Christ is a daily transformation, shaping us to live according to His purpose.
BELONG – Faith isn’t meant to be walked alone. Romans 8:15 declares, “The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship.” In God’s family, we find acceptance, encouragement, and a place to grow. We don’t just believe and behave -- we belong to something greater.
BECOME – Faith is a journey of becoming. 2 Corinthians 3:18 speaks of transformation: “And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into His image with ever-increasing glory.” As we believe, behave, and belong, we grow into who God created us to be -- more loving, more faithful, more like Him.
God invites us to believe in His truth, behave in obedience, belong in His family, and become transformed by His grace. Through this process, we step into the fullness of His plan.
