I Believe In Jesus

I grew up singing the song, “Jesus Loves Me”. That simple little song declares a bold biblical truth. The Bible affirms that He loves me. Jesus is the One and Only Son of God. He came to earth and lived a human life for 33 years before surrendering to death on a cross. Our sins were forgiven when a sacrifice was made, and He was the Ultimate Sacrifice for all sin. He made it possible for us humans to reconnect in a personal way with our Creator. I believe it takes more faith to ignore His existence than to believe in Him and His mission.

Jesus loves me this I know

For the Bible tells me so

Little ones to Him belong

They are weak, but He is strong

Yes – Jesus loves me (3X)

The Bible tells me so.

The real questions that changed my future many years ago is – Do I believe in Jesus? I am growing in my faith every day that I walk with Him. I see Him in the eyes of my family. I see Him in the sunrise or sunset. I see His handiwork all over the place. I look back on struggles in my life and I see His fingerprints all over my journey.

John walked with Jesus and was very close to Him while Jesus was on this earth. From the biblical record, I learned that John knew Jesus very well for at least 3 years. I really enjoy John’s perspective of Jesus in His gospel. I also love his perspective in the 4 books He penned later. He challenged me this morning to reflect on my love for God. Check this out….

¹⁰ All who believe in the Son of God know in their hearts that this testimony is true. Those who don’t believe this are actually calling God a liar because they don’t believe what God has testified about his Son.

¹² Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life.

²¹ Dear children, keep away from anything that might take God’s place in your hearts. (1 John 5:10,12,21 NLT)

There is stiff competition for my attention. The enemy cranks up the noise of this world I live in. I must find the quiet voice of the Lord or He will get crowded out. I must not only control my food diet, I must manage what my eyes see, my ears hear, and my feet go. The activities of my life should reflect what my heart believes about Jesus. I can say that I love Him, but talk is easy and cheap. I must keep a close check on my heart to not let anything or anyone take His place as King of my heart.

Pressing On!
