Do you?

  Do you?

The Psalmist writes,

"Say among the nations, "The LORD reigns." The world is firmly established, it cannot be moved; he will judge the peoples with equity. 

"Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad; let the sea resound, and all that is in it; 

"let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them. Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy; they will sing before the LORD, for he comes, he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples in his truth." Psalm 96:10-13. 

It is I believe the duty of all who believe in Christ Jesus. All who believe in the Lord God Almighty to tell the world around them God exists. Not only that but tell them that the Lord will one day Judge the world.

Jesus speaking of Himself states,

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 

Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son". John 3:16-18.

Jesus makes it clear that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

The apostle John writes,

"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.  

If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives." 1John 1:9-10.

The way to heaven at first glance seems simple enough. The apostle Paul stating,

"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.

That being said it can be very difficult to believe in your heart in someone or something that you cannot see, or feel.

Then perhaps that is Gods reason asking us to have faith in something. For He knows that those who have faith in anything are the strongest of believers. Men and women who will go through anything to honour and serve Him.

Do you believe in God? Do you believe in Christ Jesus, The Son of God, Saviour of the world?

Please think about it.
