You , God, Jesus & Eternal Life
The Apostle Paul wrote,
“That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.
As the Scripture says, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame.”
For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved”
Romans 10:9-13
Do you believe in God? To you believe that Jesus is the Son of God, The Saviour of mankind?
The apostle Paul here is pretty specific in what he says. He says,
“That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved....
Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved”.
That everyone means everyone. God does not care who you are or what kind of life you are living. God through Jesus wants to have a personal relationship with Him.
Jesus said,
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
Matthew 11:28-30.
God through Christ made it easy to enter heaven. God reached down in the form of His
One and only Son Jesus to save the world all it takes is faith.
The Apostle Paul writes,
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.”
Ephesians 2:8,9.
The writer of Hebrews tells us,
“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.”
Hebrews 11:6.
I believe God asks man to have faith in Him in order to be saved because it is a hard thing to do. The writer of Hebrews defining faith as,
“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.”
Hebrews 11:1.
It is a very hard thing to believe in something you can on see or touch. Thus someone with faith in God and the Salvation Jesus brings, is a true believer.
In John’s gospel we read of the story of how Thomas doubted that Jesus had risen from the dead. Jesus appeared to Thomas and John records,
“Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”
Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”
Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
John 20:27-29
Notice what Jesus says, “blessed are those who have not seen yet have believed.”
Are you one of the blessed? Someone who has not seen God, not seen Jesus but believe?
Where do you stand with respect to Jesus?
Please think about it.
