The Christian life begins with faith. Just faith. Simply faith. Nothing but faith. However, this faith isn't simply knowing some truths or facts intellectually. Genuine saving faith is a pulsating connection to God. It's a vibrant relationship. When we truly believe in Jesus Christ, we are deeply connected to him. Scripture even talks about us being "in Christ." We are in him, and he is in us. If we're connected to Christ, we cannot but be transformed. Our life looks and feels different. We live for what he lives for. We want what he wants. We dream for what he dreams. We pray: "May your will be done, in my life, as it is in heaven." We love him and we long to please him, so Jesus says, "If you love me, you will keep my commandments." We obey, not to be accepted; in Christ, we are accepted, so we obey.
