THE CHOICE TO BELIEVE
"This is the work of God, that you believe on him whom he hath sent."
When facts become scarce our mind must default to biblical beliefs.
It is Biblical Belief, not mere scientific fact that forms the bedrock of mental/spiritual stability.
Some say 'we will live until we die' JESUS SAYS: "whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die"
"if you had known me, you should have known my Father also. I am from above: you are of this world; I am not of this world. I said therefore unto you, that you shall die in your sins: for if you believe not that I am He, you shall die in your sins".
"All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God"
Facts are provable
Beliefs are not
I cannot prove it but I believe it
Facts are evident
Beliefs are not
I have no concrete evidence
Facts are empirically verifiable
Beliefs are not
I have no scientific support
Facts are rationally defensible
Beliefs are not
It's supernatural, defies logic
NOT ALL FACTS ARE BELIEVED !!
JESUS: "If I have told you earthly things, and you believe not, how shall you believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?"
The only choice?
to believe or not to believe!!
JESUS: "How can you believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?"
"Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. And
we believe
and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God."
JESUS: "He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water•this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive"
"You believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish"
If thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God
"While you have light, believe in the light, that you may be the children of light"
"Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me."
"He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do"
"blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed."
"these are written, that you might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you might have life through his name"
AMEN
