The Devotional - A Look at the Book #748

by Jesse Abel

Psalm 19:9a – When a person fears something in life it is normally because the object of fear is tarnished or tormented in some way. The object of faith in God is God Himself. He is without blemish, He is Holy; thus our fear is; Awe LORD God. Psalm 119:161

Good Morning

If someone were to ask: Just what is it that you believe as a believer in Christ?

If someone were to ask that question here are seven truths that should be readily on your lips:

1. I believe in an empty tomb: Matthew 28:1-8 – After sharing this; add a little something you know about the risen LORD. Like Jesus is alive and seated this very moment in heaven with His Father.

2. I believe in everlasting or eternal life: John 3:35-36 – Those who believe in Jesus are removed from the present wrath of God on those who do not believe.

3. I believe that my sin is forgiven: Romans 3:21-26 – all people of all nations, cultures and tribes are guilty of sin; no one is exempt, except those who believe in Jesus.

4. I believe that the Bible is the Truth and the Living Word: 1 Peter 1:22-25 – this wisdom and knowledge comes from God alone who has revealed this in these days through His Son Jesus. John 1:14

5. I believe in the Holy Bible (Book) Authored by our LORD and Creator: Hebrews 1:1-4 – continue to provide ample evidence of the authority and authenticity of the Bible. It is the only reliable truth one needs.

6. I believe in a Helper who indwells me who is God the Holy Spirit: John 14:13-18 – the Holy Bible says that only believers in Jesus Christ can have this wonderful help because the world does not know or believe in Jesus Christ, therefore they are without excuse and without help.

7. I believe in a Savior who is coming again, who we will be with forever: John 14:1-6 – He will replace this broken, sinful tent that I call home with a new and sinless mansion and I will be with Him forever.

Pray and share these truths with your loved ones, with your neighbors and co-workers. You will experience the joy of the LORD and they will experience a future “glad” day in Christ as the Holy Spirit brings this truth home to them. John 16:8-11.
