BELIEVING
Today's reading: Hosea 4-6, 1 John 4:17-5:21, Proverbs 26:1-16

"And the ones who win this battle against the world are the ones who believe that Jesus is the Son of God." 1 John 5:5 NLT

If you were thinking it requires the strongest of spiritual muscles, you were wrong.

If you were raised to think it took a certain denomination, well, that's not what the Bible tells us.

If you think it has to do with a certain Bible translation, a collection of Jacob's ladder-attendance charts or a plaque on a church pew, you are wrong.

If you trust that your victory over the problems of this world depends wholly on your belief that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, then you are right!

It's all about believing He was born from a virgin...

Believing He lived a perfect, blameless life...

Believing He died on a cross for you...

Believing His gift of salvation is yours...

Believing His blood cleanses every sin...

Believing His resurrection power defeats your enemy...

Believing He loves you that much..

That belief, friend, is your victory!
