More about John 7:38

More about John 7:38 and what it means to believe in God as the scripture says.

So what does the scripture say. We can start with the deity of Jesus Christ, His work, Life, and ministry which includes His death, burial, and resurrection. The Bible says in the gospel of John 1:1 that in the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Then in the same chapter verse 14 it says, the Word became flesh and dwelt among men. This is speaking of Jesus, that He is God born of a virgin. The scripture goes on to say all the other things I mentioned above about his life and ministry. If we know and believe that He is the Son of God then we should take His teachings to heart as such. We should believe that everything He says is true. In fact "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." -John 14:6

All these things that the bible says about Jesus, we must accept as pure truth. When it says He rose from the grave after three days of being dead and buried. It means just that. He physically came back to life and came out of the grave! I believe it!

These are just the simple basics of beginning to believe in God as the scripture says. There are many more things that we can learn about as we live our lives choosing to believe in Him and following after Him. He loves us so let us not ignore that. Lets respond to that love by giving our lives to listening to Him.

It really is not hard to believe the way God wants us to.
