BIBLE VERSES ABOUT BELIEVING IN JESUS

 

John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

John 3:15-18 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 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

Acts 13:38-39 Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

Acts 16:30-31 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

Romans 10:9-10 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Galatians 3:22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

1 Thessalonians 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

1 John 5:10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.

1 John 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

ONE STEP CLOSER TO ETERNAL HOPE

 

We thank our Lord God Almighty for granting us another new year. For His marvellous grace that sustains us for His glory. We thank all our readers and viewers of ‘One Way to Grace.’ For all those who have been a blessing to us, especially to our brothers and sisters in Christ, who continually pray for us.

New Year is here, and, for many, it’s a time to make some resolutions. In other words, we set goals to help us accomplish things. It's good to have goals, but sometimes the emphasis then becomes about what we need to do in our own strength rather than acknowledging and relying on God's grace (God’s great mercy and unmerited favour) to help us in achieving those goals according to His will. We should rely on God in everything; whether the goal is big or small, we should entrust it to God and look up to Him, because God is sovereign, our Creator, and the source of all mankind.

Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established. Proverbs 16:3 

Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. 1 Peter 5:7 

As we wait for the blessed hope, the joyful assurance that God has given us. We look forward with hope to that wonderful day when the glory of our great God and Saviour, Jesus Christ, will be revealed.

Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Titus 2:13 

The Lord Jesus will come again and take with Him into heaven all those who believe and trust in Him alone to be saved (Rapture). He takes away all believers from the earth in order to make way for His righteous judgement to be poured out on the earth. God will resurrect all believers who have died, give them glorified bodies, and take them from the earth, along with all living believers, who will also be given glorified bodies at that time.

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 
1 Thessalonians 4:16,17 

Time is of the essence; the return of the Lord Jesus Christ is imminent. We don't want you to be left behind and be under His righteous judgment. Please examine yourselves as we enter this new year to see if you have violated the moral laws of God, the Ten Commandments.

Have you ever lied?

A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish. Proverbs 19:9 

Have you taken anything that does not belong to you regardless of its value?

Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.1 Corinthians 6:10 

Have you taken the name of God in vain?

Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. Deuteronomy 5:11 

Have you lusted after someone or had sex before marriage?

Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:  But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. Matthew 5:27,28 

Have you hated someone? (murder of the heart).

Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. 1 John 3:15 

If you have answered yes to these questions, by your own admission, you're a lying, thieving, blasphemer, adulterer, and murderer at heart. That's how God sees you, and nothing is hidden from His holy eyes. If you have violated any of God's moral laws, you will be guilty on Judgement Day, and you will end up in God's eternal prison called hell.

In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; 
2 Thessalonians 1:8,9 

You don’t want to go to hell, we don’t want you to go there. Good news, Praise God for He is rich in mercy; God made a way (John 14:6) He provided a Saviour, His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to save us from the wrath of God through the judgement to come. When you believe, change your mind from unbelief to belief in Jesus Christ alone, and what Jesus has done for you through His precious blood shed on the cross, through the death, burial, and resurrection. God will cleanse you from all sin past, present and future sins forgiven (John 19:30). God will change you inwardly (Born Again), through the Holy Spirit; your place in heaven is prepared for you. God is so gracious to you that He granted you another new year, another chance for you to come to Him; nobody is guaranteed tomorrow.

Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. 
James 4:14 

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. 
John 6:47 

Blessing in Christ,

FRUITS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

 

 
There are nine fruits of the Holy Spirit in the life of a Bible-believing, born-again Christian. When we yield and are led of the Holy Spirit then these fruits are displayed and pleasing in God’s sight.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. Galatians 5:22-23 

Love – We cannot produce the type of love God desires without the leading and strength of the Holy Spirit. This love is God’s love working in us and through us.

Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.1 John 4:10,11 

Joy - Our greatest reason to be joyful is that God has saved us, and we will spend eternity with Him in heaven, which is the result of salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ. We believe in and love the Lord Jesus; despite not having seen Him physically, we live by faith (Romans 1:17). We rejoice that our names are written in the Book of Life (Revelation 21:27).

Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. 1Peter 1:8,9 

Peace - We have peace with God because we have already been forgiven of all sins and justified by faith, as if we’ve never sinned. This is only possible through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: Romans 5:1 

Longsuffering - God continually forbears with us, and by His grace, we should demonstrate the love of God with longsuffering and forbearance to one another, especially to brothers and sisters in Christ.

With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;Ephesians 4:2 

Gentleness - Reflects the character of God, who is kind, compassionate, and gracious towards us. The Lord Jesus gave us the perfect picture of gentleness.

He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young. Isaiah 40:11 

Goodness - Only God is good! When we are led by the Holy Spirit, His goodness, righteousness, and truth are displayed. 

(For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) Ephesians 5:9 

Faithfulness - God Himself is totally faithful. He is faithful to keep the promises He has made. 

Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) Hebrews 10:23 

Meekness - Describes how we are to humble and rely on God rather than ourselves or the people that surround us.

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Matthew 11:28-30 

Temperance – The ability to have self-control to overcome temptation of sin not in our own strength but through the Holy Spirit.

There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. 1 Corinthians 10:13 

The Bible makes it very clear that the believer is sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise the moment they believe, repent and trust in Jesus Christ alone as Lord and Saviour through His death, burial, resurrection, and His precious blood shed on the cross to save us from all sin.

In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Ephesians 1:13 

Blessings in Christ,

Understanding Confession

When people hear confessing your sins they think of monks in a monastery or stepping into a formal confessional at the end of mass. However, God’s Word teaches us that confession is an important practice for everyone’s daily lives.

What does the Holy Bible say about confession?
