John's Blog about life, love and other mysteries

I got up with this question in my head today, "Do You Believe"? Often questions like these pop up in our head. Many people think this is sin. Its not. It is ok to question yourself sometimes. Its actually heatlhy for your walk with God and its also biblical. 2 Corinthians 13:5, "Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves". I was thinking about this for awhile. What you believe is what drives you. You do things everyday that you believe needs to be done. You do what you believe. I probably couldn't make you believe that you would live and land without injury if you where to jump off of a sky scraper. I could preach it, teach it, write a book about it, but until you truly believed it you would never jump. Many people say that they believe in God. They act like it, come to church, and are moral people. But what do they truly believe. Many people profess to be Christians but there is no fruit evident in there lives. What we believe about things makes us "do" and puts us into action. If we really believe in the Bible and believe what Jesus has done for us that will put us into action. After what Jesus has done for us, and if we believe it, it will compel us to love, serve and obey Him. 2 Corinthians 5:14, " For the love of Christ compels us". If we love Him we will obey Him (John 15:14). He tells us to share His Gospel to others. Do you share it? He tells us to love Him first? Do you? He tells you to follow Him? Do you? If you belive in Him you must love Him, and if you love Him you will obey Him. Is your actions of service showing your love for Him? It all comes down to this question, "Do You Believe?". --john
