He is anticipated in the Old Testament and explicated in the New Testament. He is the heart, focus and centre of it all. To be a Christian – to believe in a saving sense – is to believe that. It is to believe that Jesus is God’s Word to us. 10. Everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins (v.
Even if I came to believe, or if it was somehow proven, that the Bible was just made up by crazy ancient people on a power trip, even if I came to believe it was nothing more than a fairytale, this conclusion would not in any way prove that God does not exist. It's not until someone convinces me that the universe is not real, that the universe First: I believe that the immediate perceptible universe doesn’t cover all that is real. The thoughts, feelings, and experiences we all share is not merely entropy increasing in the universe, it is also our souls experiencing the same thing. Second: I believe in Christ Jesus because I know I cannot save myself. When You Want to Be a Christian But Don’t Believe in God. The rise of the “nones” — Americans who no longer check a religious affiliation on demographic surveys — has stirred up interesting conversations among church leaders. A generation ago, many Americans would have been considered “nominal” in their devotion. But simply believing the bridge would hold you wouldn’t get you to the other side! In addition, you’d have to put your trust in it and actually commit yourself to it. Only then would you really believe in that bridge. The same is true with Jesus Christ. We may believe He is the Son of God; we may even believe He can forgive us and save us.
The Bible calls this nature your “flesh”. If you follow the inclinations of your flesh – your lusts – you commit sin. Sometimes it feels as if you can’t help it. Your thoughts are constantly drawn in directions you know aren’t pleasing to God – to complaining, criticism of others, sexual immorality, greed, discouragement. The list
According to James and John, while faith is distinct from good works, it is never separate from them, for they display the reality of faith: “Show me your faith apart from your works, and I by my works will show you my faith” (Jas. 2:18), and “this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one
There's only one who is worthy. And there is a grave forever empty. Oh, I bеlieve. Yes, I bеlieve, oh. [Chorus] I believe in Jesus. He is the Son of God. He died and rose to save my soul. I Answer. Prayer is an important part of the Christian life. It is the way we communicate with the Lord and praise Him. To understand the purpose of prayer, it is important to first understand what prayer is not. There are many wrong views in the world and culture about prayer, even among Christians, and these should be addressed first.
5. Prophet And Messiah But Not Son of God. Jesus (peace be upon him) was a prophet, a messenger, and the Messiah. But he was not nor did he ever claim to be the Son of God, God Himself, or any part of a divine Trinity. Jesus was created by God and he was, as he himself declared, a servant of God.
Today we consider, “Why I Believe that Jesus is the Christ.”. One conclusion has been completely established by our study. We have shown from every conceivable perspective and by the use of all kinds of acceptable evidence that Jesus of Nazareth is an authentic historical figure. In short: the man lived!
Even though historians and theologians alike validate the life of Jesus Christ, you may need help believing in Him. This is where the Holy Spirit comes into the equation. Adrian Rogers says, “Anything I can talk you into; somebody else can talk you out of. You need the Holy Spirit of God to convict you and convince you.”. JFJ: The question of the Jewishness of Jesus and the New Testament is of course a separate one from the question of its truth (even though “truth” is variously understood). Currently the question for many Jews tends to be whether putting one’s faith in Jesus is “switching teams” sociologically. Others argue that the very idea of Jesus In Mark 9:24, a man whose son was sick—demon possessed—cried out to Jesus, “I believe; help my unbelief!” And Jesus healed his son. If that’s you today, cry out to Jesus to help you with your unbelief. He is faithful. He will hear you. ————— In Summary… So we’ve seen how belief in God leads inevitably to the question of

Salvation begins the moment we receive, by faith, God’s offer of forgiveness through the death and resurrection of His Son, Jesus (Ephesians 2:8–9; John 1:12). Jesus called it being “born again” (John 3:3). In repenting and giving up our old life, we receive the new life Jesus purchased for us with His blood (2 Corinthians 5:17, 21).
The Significance of Christ's Resurrection. Consider just three ways the New Testament highlights the significance of the resurrection. 1. Jesus’ Resurrection means that his sacrificial death on the cross was sufficient, and therefore our sins can be forgiven. Paul emphasizes this in 1 Corinthians 15, reminding us that “Christ died for our

He says, “If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9). The Essential Problem. I would take texts like that and say that you should begin at this core — the death of Jesus. He died for our sins, which means I must believe I am a sinner. A

To summarize Jesus’s teaching in Matthew 28:19, we can say that baptism is the first item on Jesus’s list of “Everything I Have Commanded You.” Why should you get baptized? Because if you consider yourself a follower of Jesus, then, after repenting and believing (Mark 1:15), the first formal, public act of following that Jesus requires
