Bible Note: Greetings Norton, I’ve got you by 10 years so I guess we are both still kids compared to Abraham. My favorite group of verses in the whole Bible is found in the following book of 1st John. 1 John 5:10-13 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. 11And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 13These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. Now there is something that we can take to the bank because God promised it! The word believe in the English doesn’t convey the full intent of what the Greek word, PISTEUO, meant in the original language of the New Testament. It meant to put all of one’s trust in who Jesus is, being the one sent from God, the Messiah or Christ, to save all those that would fully trust and rely on the work God performed through His Son. And God’s mercy in action does it for us when we trust in The Son. Ephes. 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9Not of works, lest any man should boast. The only thing we can boast about is God’s Grace and His fantastic gift of salvation, and He is the one that gets all of the credit! Here is a great verse that shows us that God Himself accomplished the work. Acts 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, (NOTICE ) which he hath purchased with his own blood. I sure hope you enjoy the forum, CDBJ |
