I Believe! John 6:28-29 “Then they said to Him, “What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.”(NKJV)
Jesus asked two blind men who desired healing, “‘Do you believe that I am able to do this?’ They said to Him, ‘Yes, Lord.’ Then He touched their eyes, saying, ‘According to your faith let it be to you.’”
I believe God is able to do it!
I believe God is good and loving!
I believe God is faithful and true!
I believe God’s ways are right!
We say we believe… does our life agree?
When tempted, the issue is always obedient trust or sinful unbelief. Every temptation is a crisis of faith.
Is God really able?
Is God really good and loving?
Is God really faithful and true?
Are God’s ways really right?
When life doesn’t make sense, are we willing to endure inconvenience, shame, or even pain, because we believe God is working all things together for good? Do we want God’s way even when we don’t understand? Do we truly believe?
When Jesus came to His hometown, He did not do many mighty works because of their unbelief! (Matt. 13:58)
As Jesus looks upon our town, does He see lives that proclaim belief in Him? Where is faith in Jesus Christ tested in your life? Believe Him, trust and obey Him, walk by faith, and discover His mighty works, grace upon grace and a greater knowledge of Him. Let us ascribe to God the glory due His name by living out our confession of trust in Him!
