BELIEVING AND TRUSTING IN JESUS CHRIST

                                                                            


In a world where we have so much access to the truth of God's word through the Holy Bible, internet, books, and other media, so many people still find it so hard to believe and trust in Jesus Christ. Many need to see in order to believe. With all this knowledge finding the reason for existence and the answers to where did we come from? Why are we here? Where are we going? Still eludes many, when all the answers are in God’s word. That is why God sent His only begotten Son Jesus Christ who is God the Word manifest in the flesh.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

John 1:1 KJV

 

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

John 1:14 KJV

 

God also sent holy men, prophets, and apostles to proclaim the truth and to put the Bible's 66 books, 39 in the Old Testament and 27 in the New Testament are written by 40 different authors over a period of 1,500 years. These authors lived in different places and different times with different cultures.  They had many different occupations and lifestyles but the focus of what they have written is the same to reveal God's heart and will for mankind. Together 66 books made into one Holy Bible, inspired by the Holy Spirit, the manual for life itself.

And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

John 6:40 KJV

 

For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

2 Peter 1:21 KJV

 

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

2 Timothy 3:16 KJV

 

Everything has instructions or manuals like cars, TV’s, mobile phones, even our food etc. How to take? How to use? How to assemble? So, it makes sense to follow the greatest and truest words of all not from man but from our Creator, the Lord God Almighty.

But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.

John 20:31

 

Can we see the wind? No, but we can see the effects and feel the wind on our skin, just as we can see the effects and feel the changes in our own lives.

Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

John 20:29 KJV

 

Making the right choice (freewill to believe) is up to the individual. To believe, repent of our sins and trust in Jesus Christ alone as our Lord and Saviour.

That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

John 3:15-18 KJV

 

We have made our choice by God's mercy and grace, to believe and trust in God’s word through His Son Jesus Christ, led by the Holy Spirit.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

Romans 1:16,17 KJV

 

This free gift of salvation is available for all who repent, believe, and trust in Jesus Christ alone, there is nothing more important than your eternal destiny, Heaven or Hell. No one is guaranteed tomorrow today is the day of Salvation.

(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)

2 Corinthians 6:2 KJV

 

For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Romans 10:13 KJV

 

Blessings in Christ.

 

David and Gay
