A Biblical Christian worldview perspective – An analogy that demonstrates the difference between a personal relationship with the Creator of the universe (as one’s Lord and Savior) vs. a theological belief that He exists can be seen in the study of electricity.
“One could study electricity and ‘know’ all about its properties and scientific constructs. But such knowledge is not the same as touching a live wire where one experiences the presence and power of electricity. The shock will ultimately change [one’s] perspective. The same is [true from] an encounter with the Mystery of the Divine – it’s a very different thing than thinking about God or theological study.”
James 2:19 – You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder!
Belief is not the same as trust, hope, faith, love, and obedience. Sadly, the eternal outcome is also very different as well.
