You Must First Believe

         What can I say that you that you don't already know? Believe.... it is a very orthodox word that's been around for well..since the beginning. I need not to say it for the first time but to remind us all to do just that, believe! Our faith in Jesus Christ is so important that if we don't have it we have nothing. We look around and see the very creation created without one finger and yet we question it without regard for the very air we breathe. Our lives were planned from the foundations of the earth and we can't seem to fathom that it can be true.

          Our children from the beginning of hearing sound, believe we are the momma and dada without even understanding what the words momma and dada means. They just know we are taking care of their needs and they believe it. Children believe in a creator, they believe in Jesus because we tell them God is real even if we can't see him. They believe because they are innocent and their minds are vulnerable to what ever an adult tells them. Why can't we be like the children and just believe because the bible tells us so?

          The reason why is because as adults we have grown out of our innocence and have been subjected to too many lies and deceptions. We can be like sponges in the beginning but soon the sponges get dirty and bacteria grows. Like a sponge filled with bacteria, whatever it touches it spreads the bacteria around. We have to soak up the blood of Jesus Christ and be filled with the Holy Ghost to be new and clean again, if that makes any sense. We need to be cleansed and washed in his blood through baptism. However, before that could ever happen, sincere belief, faith in Jesus Christ  with all our hearts must take affect.  We must step out in faith and believe that god will fulfill his word. We can not waiver and doubt no longer, fear is not an option! Noah believed God when he said it would rain 40 days and nights and out of faith he started his 100 year or less mission to building the ark. Abraham believed God for a great nation, promised land and a blessed seed. Wow....What faith he had! What kind of faith do we have?  


"And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel."
(Mark 1:15)


Abram believed God and it was accounted to him for righteousness (Gen 15:6)
