Belief is an important subject...God rewards belief:.Hebrews 11:6 "But without faith it is impossible to please him. For he that comes to God must believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."

Mark 9:23 "Jesus said unto him, If you can believe, all things are possible to him that believes."

Mark 11:24 "Therefore I say unto you, What things soever you desire, when you pray, believe that you receive them.(original is active voice, that is, in your mind, you must already be in possession of it)., and you have them."

Mark 11:22,23 "And Jesus answering said unto them, Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be removed, and be cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but believe that those things which he says comes to pass; he shall have whatsoever he says."

John 1:7 "The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe."

It was important in the beginning:.Genesis 15:1-6; James 2:23; Romans 4:1-3; Mark 16:16. It is important for us today. It is your state with the Great Infinite One.

It is massively important. It is the key to getting the power of the invisible Infinite One to flow through us as it did in Jesus:.Ephesians 3:16 "That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might.(original is 'to have power to accomplish', and that comes from God).by his Spirit in.the inner man." Ephesians 1:19 "And what is the exceeding greatness of his power.(and that comes eventually, once you come to believe that all answers to the negatives in life involve a spiritual aspect).to usward.(us).who believe according to the working of his mighty.(here the word "mighty" simply refers to the ultimate mighty power – God's power).power."

Paul talked of God's Kingdom (Christ's too:.Ephesians 5:5) as a present happening for every believer:.Colossians 1:12,13; 2Corinthians 6:2.
    David too realized this:.Acts 2:34.

You know you are in a state of belief when your mind can't entertain the opposite of what you hold in it.

Unbelief is not rewarded:.2Kings 17:14-20 "Notwithstanding they would not hear but hardened their necks like to the neck of their fathers that did not believe in the LORD their God. And they rejected his statutes and his covenant that he made with their fathers and his testimonies which he testified against them. And they followed vanity and became vain.(sorta like an attitude: 'now let's see now, what's more exciting out there than all this boring spiritual stuff?' Which tochoose? TV or spiritual stuff? Like what I mean is: time in prayer and Bible Study and meditation {thinking about what you have studied, how it relates to you and your life, and to others you may be concerned about}; or are you locked in apathy?), and went after the heathen that were round about them, concerning whom the LORD had charged them that they should not do like them. And they left all the commandments of the LORD their God and made them molten images, even two calves, and made a grove.(original Hebrew 'asherah', properly, a wooden image, or a pillar representing Ashtoreth, a sensual Canaanitish goddess, usually set up in a grove of trees {2Kings 21:1-9; 23:4}), and worshipped all the host of heaven.(stars, planets, etc.), and served Baal. And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire.(some do firewalking today over hot coals, but this is not related, as here in these ancient times it was a ceremony to a 'god' named Molech, an initiation ceremony of worship to this supposed god).and used divination and enchantments.(original implies 'secret arts, tricks, something covered'; to place under one's power by or as if by magic; cast a spell over; to captivate completely), and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger. Therefore the LORD was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight. There was none left but the tribe of Judah only. Also Judah kept not the commandments of the LORD their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made. And the LORD rejected all the seed of Israel and afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, until he had cast them out of his sight.".They were this way because they just did not understand the greatness of the Everliving One. Do you? If not read all about this subject.

Unbelief causes trials in life. Belief brings a 'charmed' life, where all fits well for a person. Even though their may be bumps along the way so that we continue to learn, they are not severe bruises.

Believing is being in your mind (or, to put it another way - being in the now in your mind, what you see your future to be like) what you want to be true in the present, so, be 'being' in your mind. This is how belief takes you into a better future. 

Belief has been a part of a relationship with the Great Infinite One.since the beginning:.James 2:23 "And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham.believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness. And he was called the Friend of God."

Belief can be built up by doing certain things involving what goes on in the mind.

Believing God loves you makes your love perfect:.1John 4:16,17 "And we have known and believed the love that God has to us. God is love, and he that dwells in love dwells in God and God in him. Herein is our love made perfect that we may have boldness in the day of judgment. Because as he is so are we in this world." Phillipians 2;5,6.

When you believe in the name (all He stands for) of the Lord Jesus, you are promised the gift of the Holy Spirit, His nature residing in you:.Acts 19:2-5 "He said unto them; Have you received the Holy Ghost since you believed? And they said unto him: We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. And he said unto them, Unto what then were you baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism.(what's that?).. Then said Paul, John verily.('verily' means 'in truth' or 'it is true that').baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus."

And when you are a believer Jesus prayer for all believers at all times applies to you:.John 17:20.
