Believe On, Vs Believe
Believe On, Vs Believe
V 30 Many believed on Him
Put their trust in Jesus
commited their lives to Jesus
Not condemned
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Has everlasting life
He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
All sins are forgiven
To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
with the remission of sins, The Holy Spirit
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Hearts purified
And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
Believe
Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.
To believe something about Jesus
Judas believed something, but not trusted in
the prophet, a good teacher, Nicodemus- “A Man come from God”
Matt 13
the tares in the wheat field
sower and the soils
the tares in the wheat field
some people put their trust in Jesus V 30
Jesus is now speaking to a crowd of people who believe something about Him
These people are the ones he is addressing
Maybe there is a spark of belief that needs to be coaxed into a flame
If You Continue
If You Continue
NKJV abide
NLT remain faithful to my teachings
NET continue to follow my teachings
This is a sign of a true disciple
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
A true follower is hated by the world
By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
A false follower does not last
But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.
they look good on Sunday.. But
If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
Eventually they leave
They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
Continue to follow my teachings
study God’s word
Study the life of Jesus
pray and work toward being like Him
practice what He taught us
If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.
If we re true disciples then we wont be moved
If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;
don’t fear the future,
this world is changing fast, and for the Christian its no going to be good
be prepared in your mind, what are you going to do when...
Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.

Know The Truth
Know The Truth
A lie keeps us in bondage, Chained to the wall
An anorexic will look at their emaciated bodies in the mirror and see a very large woman looking back
the lie of the mirror has severely affected the health of the person
the lie of the alcohol and drugs will destroy the life of a person
the lie of religions have kept people from Jesus
the lie of sin leads to death
Satan has blinded the eyes of this world to the truth
there is a great deception going on in this world today
the Bernie people are absolutely convinced the communism is right
most people are convinced that everyone is going to heaven
a great deception is on the hearts of people lulling them into a false sense of security
Jesus is the truth, the source of truth
Jesus is the truth, the source of truth
to know Jesus is to have your eyes open
to know Jesus is to have the truth revealed through the word
Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
truth is reality; the way things are really - to see acurately
Jesus is the reference point to all claims
the straight stick to judge all others
a wall looks smooth and flat until you shine a light, then you will see all the imperfections
Jesus is that light / the light that gives life
A True Disciple
A True Disciple
But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
We are the representatives of truth
The pillars that some are looking for
the truth that stands strong no matter what society does
our representatives in Washington does not do a good job of representing me and my values
a true disciple is an ambassador of the kingdom of God
and continue to remain faithful to the teachings of Jesus
Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
