Do You Believe?

 



Do you believe? that is in the Bible?

Do you believe what the Bible says?

Do you believe if we read something in the Bible that we should obey it?


There is a lot of people who would say yes to the above questions, there is also a lot of people who would say yes and add their objectives. Which one are you? I would say for me personally that I would be one of the people that if I saw something in the Bible I would be one of those who would believe what I read.

 

Today subject is about the word "believe" and there are people who believe in the bible that it is the word of God and they will also say that they believe in Jesus Christ, and unfortunately, they believe that is all a person needs to do in order to be saved and go to heaven. While that may sound sincere, I believe (no pun) there is more to it if one desires to be saved and have eternal life with God.

Did you know there were many people in the Acts 2:38New Testament of the Bible who "believed" in Jesus? We are told even the Devil believes(James 2:19) and for sure He will not be in heaven, will he?


While we must believe, we also must believe in how God chose to give eternal life and of course that is through his human son Jesus Christ, this Jesus is the one God sent to be our savior, it is through him we come to God and have access but belief alone is not all that is needed. Scripture tells us that we MUST be born again of the water and the spirit in John 3:3-8. If all it took was just to simply believe then there would have been no need for Jesus to instruct his disciples to wait for the promise of the Holy Ghost in Acts 1:8 as we know those disciples most certainly believed in Jesus. Jesus first had to die so he could go away and come back and be with his disciples and us today in a much greater way. He is available today through the baptism of the Holy Ghost, have you ever heard about it? This is not saying a sinner's prayer or joining a church somewhere, this is a real genuine experience that you can have with God today by believing? Yes that is the key! BUT there is more. The first time someone asked what they must do to be saved is answered by Peter in the Book of Acts chapter 2

                                          Acts 2:38


Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

What Did Peter Say About Jesus?

Do you realize how many Christians have never paid no attention to the words of Peter and what he said about Jesus? I know I only did when it came to salvation, but I never took the time to REALLY read what he said originally about Jesus in the Book of Acts, and to be honest, I figured I did not need to because of what I assumed to my early encounter with my original church and their teachings. But below I want to share a short article written by a friend and brother of mine named Roy Moore This is literally what Peter said who Jesus is to the Jews in Jerusalem after Jesus had ascended "to My God and your God" <Jn 20:17> 22 “Ye men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth,  a Man approved of God among you by miracles, wonders, and signs, which God did through Him among you, as ye yourselves also know — 23 Him, being delivered by the determinate will and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken and by wicked hands have crucified and slain. 24 But God has raised Him up,...

  Acts 4:26 WHY WERE THE NATIONS INSOLENT , AND THE PEOPLES PLOTTING IN VAIN ? ‘THE KINGS OF THE EARTH TOOK THEIR STAND , AND THE RULERS WERE GATHERED TOGETHER AGAINST THE LORD AND AGAINST HIS CHRIST . Have you ever considered this verse? Please look closely  the rulers gathered together against ** the LORD** and ** his Christ** So the LORD has a Christ? And that Christ belongs to him? So are we pretending not to see the word **his**now,OR did the Trinity doctrine just skip over that part? Because the verse does not say, "against the LORD who is the Christ". It says "against the LORD **and** against **his Christ** Does that not sound like YHWH and Jesus are clearly being distinguished, not blended into the same person?

 By Rory Moore This is literally what Peter said who Jesus is to the Jews in Jerusalem after Jesus had ascended "to My God and your God" <Jn 20:17> 22 “Ye men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man approved of God among you by miracles, wonders, and signs, which God did through Him among you, as ye yourselves also know — 23 Him, being delivered by the determinate will and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken and by wicked hands have crucified and slain. 24 But God has raised Him up, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it. 25 For David speaks concerning Him: ‘I beheld the LORD always before my face, for He is on my right hand, that I should not be moved. 26 Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope, 27 because You <God> wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt Thou suffer Thine Holy One <i.e.CHRIST JESUS> to see corruption. 28 You hav...
