But, there are some unique things to each.
It seems to me, the difference between belief and knowing is participation.
I can claim to believe something. But, if I don't actually participate with it, I don't really know it that well. I mostly just know about it.
For example, regarding my relationship with my wife, I don't say, I believe she loves me. Why not? Because I know she loves me.
How do I know?
Three things stand out to me that embody the idea of love:
- Mercy
- Firmness (Integrity, or Strength)
- Forgiveness
