Faith is more than a label. Faith is placing your trust in something or someone. Faith in God has to be about belief, that one would even believe that God is and that God is someone you can trust and entrust your life to. Even if you believe that God is, who you believe God is impacts how you relate to God and how close you allow yourself to get to God.
The intersect of faith and life invites more questions. My thought is that faith is more than agreeing to a set of rules or guidelines, or even propositional truths, although it is very much about truth. If one's faith is built on a false foundation it would not be faith worth having or living. Faith is living and active--not a transaction made to get something, as a contract might be. It is a trust relationship with God that transforms all of life and saves us now. It matters who we believe God to be because it impacts our ability to trust, and trust matters.
