TO BELIEVE, WHAT IS IT?"

Do you believe in God?
Of course! I do believe in God!
Do you believe in Jesus Christ?
Yes! I do! Why are you asking me these questions?
I’ll tell you in a minute, but first, let me tell you that, as you know:
Every day we listen in the news about kidnappings, rapes to innocent
children, people stealing, deceiving, murdering without mercy
It is incredible, but people are walking away from God at giant steps,
allowing all these things that astonishes the whole world to happen.
Do you believe in angels?
Yes! I do believe in angels why?
Because the Bible says that God created everything including the angels.
One of them named Lucifer began to envy the Almighty because he
wanted to be, not only like Him but he wanted to be God!
The Creator of the Universe, had prepared for the devil and all his hosts of
fallen angels along with all who wishes to follow him, a lake of fire and
brimstone in which will be tormented day and night for ever and ever!
All right, but what do all these, has to do with your questions?
Listen:
At the beginning, I asked you if you believe in God and you said yes!
I asked you if you believe in Jesus Christ and you also said yes!
I asked you if you believe in angels and the devil and your answer
was the same! YES!
So: Do you know what you believe in?
Oh! You got me all confused!
All right ! let me explain you something: The word TO BELIEVE is:
TO AKNOWLEDGE THE EXISTANCE OF SOMEBODY OR
SOMETHING ONLY! So: TO BELIEVE IS NOT SUFFICIENT!
A quotation from the Bible says:
“Do you believe that there is only one God? Even demons believe it so
strongly that they tremble in terror, fool, when will you ever learn that
Believing is useless without doing what God wants you to do? James 2;19.
Anybody could believe in marriage, have kids and a complete family
Without ever being married! We are considered married after we say:
I DO! I DO ACCEPT! Not: I DO BELIEVE!
Probably many times you have said: I believe in Jesus Christ!
But: have you ever said: I ACCEPT YOU JESUS! FORGIVE ME ALL
MY SINS, I WANT TO START A NEW LIFE WITH YOU!
Have you ever said it?
To believe in Jesus Christ is not just to believe He exists, but:
TO ACCEPT DEEP IN YOUR HEART THAT HE DIED TO FORGIVE
OUR SINS AND HE ROSE TO GIVE US ETERNAL LIFE!
We accept his salvation when we open our hearts to HIM
The Joy of being saved makes us jump of happiness and make us to tell
everybody about it, just the way I am doing with you!
ACCEPT HIM! And say:
DEAR JESUS: YOU ARE MY LORD AND MY SAVIOR!
COME INTO MY HEART!
THANK YOU LORD!
