And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.
Believest thou this?
Believest thou this?
John 11:26
Have you ever had anyone tell you that, if you can’t give
them a time and date for when you got saved, you aren’t really saved? I have. But
let me tell you, my friend, that statement couldn’t be further from the truth
because there is no biblical evidence to back it up. If you don’t believe me,
let me prove it.
First, we must have a deep understanding of what it means to
believe in Christ. When Jesus said that “whosoever liveth and believeth in me
shall never die [have eternal life],” He was talking about more than a simple
intellectual belief. Matthew 6:24 says, “Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If
any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and
follow me.” That, my friend, is what it means to truly believe in Christ, to
trust Him so much that you leave everything you have behind to follow Him, even
to the point of death.
So I ask you, are you trusting Jesus and Him alone to take
you to Heaven when you die? Have you acknowledged Him as Lord of your life?
Have you given Him complete control of everything you have and do? If so, you
don’t have to worry if you can’t give someone a time and date for when you were
saved. If you are trusting Jesus now, that is all that matters.
Maybe you’re reading this today and you have never placed
your trust in Jesus at any time. If that is you, I am here to tell you that
today is the day of salvation (2 Corinthians 6:2). If you will turn from all
sin and trust Jesus alone to save you, He will save you today and keep you
saved forever.
