Faith that leads to the grave
In the book of acts we read,
“The jailer called for lights, rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas.
He then brought them out and asked, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"
They replied, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household."” Acts 16:30,31.
It is that simple. Christians believe if you truly believe in the Lord Jesus Christ you will be saved. You will go to heaven.
But is belief a simple thing.
In the book of Hebrews we read,
“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for.” Hebrews 11:1,2.
In Hebrews 11:6 we read,
"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.
Having faith in someone or some thing you cannot see or touch can be very difficult for many people. That I believe is why God wants us to have faith. Because people who have true faith in something will quite literally follow their beliefs to the grave.
Is this the kind of faith you have in Christ Jesus?
Please think about it.
