True belief in God is not a matter of believing in Him solely in order to be saved, less still of believing in Him solely to be a good person. It’s also not merely a matter of believing in Him solely to gain human likeness. The fact is that the view of people on belief in God shouldn’t be just believing that there is a God, and that He is the truth, the way, and the life. It’s also not just about acknowledging God, and believing that He’s the Sovereign of all things, that He is almighty, that He created the world and all things, that He’s unique, and that He’s supreme. It is not just about believing these facts, and that’s it.

God’s intention is that your whole being and heart should be given to Him and submit to Him. That is, you should follow God, be used by Him, and be willing even to render service for Him—it’s only proper for you to do anything for God. It is not the case that only those predestined and chosen by God should believe in Him. The fact is that all mankind should worship God, heed Him and submit to Him, because mankind was made by God.
