Do YOU Believe?

Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" (John 11:25-26)

Do YOU believe? It is a personal question that Jesus asked of Martha yet the question is still left unanswered today. Many are religious. Many go to church. Many even claim this faith or that faith. I am a Baptist . . . I am a Catholic . . . I am Jewish.

I did not asked what you are or where you go to church: the question is Do YOU believe in the Messiah . . . Yeshua . . . the Christ?

As Peter explained to the rulers of the Hebrew church when they questioned him and John: Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved. (Acts 4:12)

So Do YOU believe? In (Romans 10:1-1)Paul writes of his desire to see his people saved. He notes their zeal for God and their passion for Him. I feel the same today. I see many of my friends and companions enthusiastic and passionate for God and church , yet when it comes to choices and lifestyles, I have to wonder . . . There was a time I wondered about myself!

Calling on the name of the Lord . . . confessing faith in Him (Romans 10:9-12)leads one to salvation. However, it also is shown through action and lifestyle. (James 2:14-26).

Many believe, but few follow! How 'bout YOU?
