TOPIC: Only Believe
READ: John 3:31-36 (NKJV)
31 The one who comes from above is above all; the one who is from the earth belongs to the earth, and speaks as one from the earth. The one who comes from heaven is above all.
32 He testifies to what he has seen and heard, but no one accepts his testimony.
33 Whoever has accepted it has certified that God is truthful.
34 For the one whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God[a] gives the Spirit without limit.
35 The Father loves the Son and has placed everything in his hands.
36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them.
THE MESSAGE:
John also testified that He who comes from Heaven is above all, speaks the words of God, has a limitless Spirit, and whoever does not believe in Him shall not see life but will face the wrath of God. John’s concern was the fact that despite being from heaven, Jesus’ message was not received (verses 31-32). However, the reason for this refusal to receive the message was because the people had sought to understand Him using their earthly minds. We must acknowledge that our earthly minds are too small to figure out the rationale behind the Gospel which brings salvation (1 Corinthians 2:14).
Only a simple faith is required in our relationship with the Lord. This truth applies to all of the challenges that we are faced with! If only you believe that He that is from above is above all your troubles, you will experience for yourself, the true God. Determine to believe in Jesus Christ, the Messiah, and you will have everlasting life in this world and in the world to come. It is the only way to escape the wrath of God that awaits unbelievers. Which one will you choose: everlasting life or the wrath of God? If your choice is everlasting life, then believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
PRAYER: Father, I surrender all my troubles to You, save me now:
