Hear And Believe

Tuesday March 8, 2022

Coming to fully know and cherish Jesus as our Lord and Saviour is not something that we do in a day, or a week, or a month.  It is a lifetime commitment. We who have lived rebellious lives had a gradual fall to where we ended up. We know that it now takes an extended process over time to have our mindset changed into truly believing that the ways of God are more beneficial to our well-being than operating out of selfish actions. The principle for our new life in recovery should be to wholeheartedly hear and believe the Scriptures and proclaim their truth in every situation we encounter.

Truly, truly, I say to you, the one who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life. (John 5:24 NASB) 

Some may experience a dramatic change when they give their will and life over to the care of God.  However, most of us through prayer and meditation on the Scriptures get to know the gracious God whom we serve. The foundation of our belief system is the truth of what Jesus did for us when He came into the world.  Through him we have been reconciled to God with all the benefits of being a child of God.  We have God’s favour and when we call on Him, He will answer.

For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. (John 3:17 NIV)

When we hear condemnation in our heads, we need to proclaim the truth of who we are in Christ. The Bible tells us that we need not fear the accuser but triumph over Him by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony of what Jesus has done for us.

They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death. (Revelation 12:11 NIV)

Heavenly Father, When the accuser comes to steal, kill, and destroy the peace I have through Jesus, I will proclaim that I have heard the good news of the Gospel of Christ and believe on the One God sent. Amen
