Jn5

"Anyone who hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not come under judgment but has passed from death to life."

One simple verse packed with profound truth.  It is about hearing AND believing.  The "haves AND the have nots".  The dead AND the living.  I am grateful for the life that I have because of my belief in Jesus.

So many people measure faith by the words of one's mouth.  I think a better measure would be the reality of their spiritual life.  Before Jesus, they were dead in sin.  If Jesus has truly brought them to life, there will be a living reality alive in them.  There is a significant difference between something living and something dead!  

Live today.  That is if you are alive.  If you are dead, believe and come to life.  Then you can live!

  1. we are all stillborn until we are reborn.

    were are born dead.
    were are made alive in Christ.

    this is an amazing opportunity BOTH for praising God if He has brought to life AND to increase the urgency in which you think about your friends who do not yet know Jesus. they are not just misguided: they are dead.
