The only way to attain a character trait is through faith that we ought to be a
doer of that trait, so we he way to believe in the God of Israel is through faith
that we ought to be a doer of His character traits. For example, the way to
believe that God is just is by being a doer of justice, so the way that we live
testifies about who we believe that God is. Our good works testify about
God’s goodness, which is why they give glory to Him (Matthew 5:16), and by
testifying about God’s goodness we are also expressing the belief that God is
good. Jesus is the exact image of God’s character (Hebrews 1:3), which he
expressed through setting a sinless example for us to follow of how to walk
in obedience to the Mosaic Law, so the way to be like him is by having faith
in his character as being the model for how we ought to live by following his
example. In.Psalms 119:142, the Mosaic Law is truth, and in.John 8:31-36, it
is sin in transgression of the Mosaic Law that puts us in bandage while it is
the truth that sets us free, so obedience to it is the way to believe the truth.
In other words, obedience to God’s word is the way to believe in and become
like God’s word made flesh.
