    What does it mean to believe? I like the Amplified Bible here:

    16For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten ([d]unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life.

    ....'trusts in, clings to, relies on' defines it pretty well to me.
