STEP 2: Believe
We must then BELIEVE what we read in the Bible.
|
Merely hearing the word of God doesn't save. We must believe
what we hear or we are not likely to obey the Bible's commands.
In John
8:24, Jesus says -
"...if ye believe that I
am He, ye shall die in your sins."
But belief is not enough! Notice what Jesus said in John
1:12 -
"But as many as received
(believed) him, to them gave he power
to become the sons of God...."
In other words, belief allows us "to become"
children of God but does NOT by itself accomplish the task. In Matthew
7:21 we learn that just declaring our belief is not enough - we must
DO what God requires of us -
"Not every one that saith
unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that
doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven."
So, believing is NOT enough!
