SALVATION’S MOTIVE

John 11:40
"Then Jesus said, "Did I not tell you that if you believed,
you would see the glory of God?""

The dead man, Lazarus, was now alive again; he was walking and talking now. Jesus said, after this reversal of death, "Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?" Faith in what God says opens the door for miracles. "Just believe," Jesus said in another place. Do you, dear friend, want to be close to Jesus? Do you want to walk with Him daily? Jesus said that He would be with you always, Matthew 28 that He would be in you, John 17. He promises that He will never leave you or forsake you. Do you believe Him? Faith receives the truth and then God honors the faith. In faith, receive all Bible truth. Faith will lead you to experience all that God promises. Let’s remember, dear friend, God says who He is and what He will do, but He also says we must believe. (See James 1 or Hebrews 11:6.) Trust Him now; receive the truth of the Word of God. Faith in Jesus will fill you with all that He says. Jesus says, "I will live in you, I will be with you, I love you." It’s truth! Your faith doesn’t make it true, it’s true whether you believe it or not! But when you believe Him, then the door is open; His promises will flow in you! Miracles are waiting. Your faith in Him will bring them. He says, "Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?"

Let’s Pray:
O Jesus, my Lord, I stretch out faith in you. I trust your truth, I believe your Word. I shall see the glory of God. I believe!!

See you tomorrow,
