That You Might Believe

“But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name” (John 20:31).

The life of Christ—His compassion, His miracles, His power, His love, His grace, His truth, and His divinity all give us valid reasons to believe in Him. That’s what the end of the book of John declares. “But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name

.”

Read the wonderful gospel of John again with this truth as your foundation. These things are written that you might believe. Bask in the all sufficiency of Christ. Walk with Him and fully embrace Him. Seek to know Him as He is revealed in this great book of the Bible. Allow the Father in Heaven to use the written word to draw you to Christ. All who will believe are given to Christ and then sealed for all eternity. Receive His gift and live. It’s yours!

But there is much more, dear friend. There is joy and peace. There is freedom, liberty, and victory. There is forgiveness and reconciliation beyond our initial salvation. Condemnation is gone. Judgment is gone. There is grace to follow our Lord without fear. Grace to live the way He has called us to live. And grace to receive and understand all He gives to us in Christ.

“But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name” (John 20:31). Believe and receive life. Life abundant and life victorious. Are you weary and heavy laden? Are you defeated and discouraged? Are you sour and grumpy? Joyless and sad? Turn to Jesus!
