Believing In Jesus

What does it mean to believe in Jesus? The gospel of John in chapter 5, 24-25 reads,  “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life. Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live."
Now, this would read as though one could simply have a knowledge of belief in the concept of Jesus' teachings and accept that the Father sent Him and be passed into life, once and for all. This might be taken as a "free pass" to simply have the one-time experience and go back to the old ways of life, never disturbing the life-style or change in a way to keep people from knowing that there had been been any change whatsoever in the nature of the person, yet, stealthily gaining eternal life without creating any noticeable difference in the interaction with others. The only problem with this conclusion is verses 21- 23 of the same chapter. These verses blow the doors right off that line of thinking. 
^"21 For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so the Son gives life to whom He will. ²² For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son, ²³ that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him."
We must honor the Son and the Father in all that we do as Christians, there is no place for "hidden lights". There are no invisible Christians in Heaven, nor silent praises. There will be joy unspeakable and full of glory, and yes the half has never yet been told(to borrow a few words). We must be a light set up on a hill for all to see, not worried about what we will eat or wear or how we will survive. These things are in the "provision package" for true believers. GO forth and shine your light today.
