The resurrection enables Holy Spirit faithfulness to be God’s representative. 20:19-23 2. Believing the resurrection without seeing the literal body of Christ has great blessing. 20:24-29 3. Believing the truth about Jesus results in the blessing of eternal life. 20:30-31 BELIEVING THE TRUTH ABOUT JESUS RESULTS IN ETERNAL LIFE. BELIEVING THE TRUTH ABOUT JESUS SHOULD DRIVE US TO PROCLAIM THE TRUTH. APPLICATION 1.Eternal life rather than eternal judgment is only possible through Jesus Christ. Believe He died and rose again to pay for your sin. 2.If you believe, what are you doing with that truth —we are responsible to share that truth. APPLICATION 3. Though we are asking to believe without seeing the literal body of Christ, belief in Jesus is not a blind belief. John has given us much to stand on to base our faith. Be prepared to articulate what you believe and why you believe the truth about Jesus. BELIEVE AND SHARE!
