When believers attempt to deal with hardships of life the wrong way everything is turned upside down. We can’t focus on prayer much less read the Word for Godly perspective.
But when we turn our eyes back to the One who delivers us from all our cares, then we are back on the right track.
Sometimes, Jesus’ teachings seemed upside-down. But that was intentional. Matthew 11:25.
Simple belief. That’s the answer. Trusting the One who will always show us what is right side up.
Does that mean it is as simple as just believing? The Bible tells us that even demons believe. James 2:19
So, what is the difference between believing that Jesus just exists and in believing to saving faith?
“But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name.” John 20:31 (WEB)
This study looks at the word believe found in the Gospel of John. As you read this in context it’s profound meaning will change the way you look at studying God’s Word. You will see how studying with purpose will enhance your walk with the Savior.
According to a reliable pastor friend, the word believe appears in the Bible over 230 times, with just over 100 uses of that word to be found in the Gospel of John, alone. The book of Acts follows with thirty-nine references to the word believe.
The Gospel of John is so rich with the longing of Christs’ love and message for the lost world. God’s Word as told by John is a deeply personal look at Jesus and the eternal satisfaction that believing in Him brings.
It isn’t always easy. But you know what Jesus said about that:
“I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”
John 16:33 (WEB)
Share the Gospel in your world!
Isaiah 52:7
