FOR GOD SO LOVED THE
WORLD .. HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON .. THAT WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM .. SHOULD NOT
PERISH BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE ...................................... JOHN 3:16. |
THE MISSING PART.. BELIEVING HIM!
There are four parts to this one oracle of God and the sad part is the
churches and their leaders have not told all four parts.. Romans 1:18.
Church leaders today tell the people that God loves them so much and they tell the people
God the Father gave an offering for their sins and they also make it known to the people
that God doesn't want any to perish. All of this is good and healthy teaching but they
often avoid the requirement laid down by God that all must fulfil in order to have eternal
life instead of eternal death... We must love Him.. James 1:12, Luke 13:22-24.
And that is .. you must believe!.. and this is where all the confusion comes in
amongst religious organisations, what does believe mean?
For me believe means to do, if you believe that hungry jacks burgers are a better
burger than MacDonalds you buy H.J's .. this is so simple. Yet many are still trying to
come to terms with this.. requirement/condition .. that almighty God has written
down for all humans to read... James 2:19.
THAT WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM!.. no-one else will ever have eternal life, all
shall perish in a everlasting fire called hell. God almighty showed the world in a literal
way through the Christ/God the Son the extent of His love for all nations, tribes and
tongues yet there will only be a few who shall enter the great and mighty Kingdom of God
the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost.
To say you are a believer in Him/Jesus you must bring forth fruit that will testify this
to all the world. This is seen in obedience to the word of God.
BUT BE DOERS OF THE WORD AND NOT HEARERS ONLY, DECEIVING YOURSELVES ...JAMES 1:22.
How many have been deceived by false prophets, false teachers and church leaders who say,
teach and program people to accept that the word .. believe, means to say yes in your head
.. and then go about your life just as you wish?
Then we have those who truly did believe and bore fruit of it also but a evil heart of
unbelief crept into their lives and they departed from God or are thinking about it?.. Hebrews
3:12-15.
To believe is to do what the living word of God says and to continue to do it to
the very end of your life or till the rapture/upward call, whatever comes first and if we
sin we have an advocate Christ Jesus ..Romans 11:22, 2:7,8.
Jesus wants you to have everlasting life, do you really want it?... believe.
Amen.
