It Takes More Than Believing in God

resource description
There is a difference between believing in God and believing God. So much so, that Jesus asked one his closest disciples three times if he loved Him. Peter's answers may have been an indication that he believed in Jesus (as the Son of God) but perhaps wasn't so sure that he believed His words - 100% of the time.

Why was Peter so upset when Christ asked him three times if he "loved" him? Was he saying to Christ "don't you believe me?" Surely you must believe in me as your faithful follower - so why don't you believe me when I say 'I love you'?"
