 So if you're trying to build your faith, don't sit around trying to whomp it up. Get in the Bible and learn about Jesus and it won't take much to believe in him if you know who he is because his record is so clear and so clean, you'll get emotionally involved with him. First of all, there's perception, then there's persuasion, but finally there has to be a performance. You say, do you believe that you have to do a work in order to be saved? Absolutely not.
