16.m. “Do you believe this?”

John 8:48  The Jews answered him, “Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?” Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me. Yet I do not seek my own glory; there is One who seeks it, and he is the judge. Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death.”

John 3:15-16    that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.  “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

John 5:24    Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.

John 6:50   This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die.

John 11:25-26     Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live,  and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?”

If you don’t believe in God you will not believe in Jesus Christ.  If you do not believe in God and Jesus Christ you certainly will not believe in heaven or hell or judgment.  Without believing in coming judgment and heaven or hell there are secure consequences. Eternity in hell with continuous torment forever and ever.  Believing, clinging to, relying on, and trusting in Jesus Christ has secure consequences.  Eternal life. passing from death to life.  Without Jesus Christ, every single person falls short of the glory of God and has a death sentence.  Eternal hell.  In God’s love, mercy, and grace He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to redeem and save a lost and floundering world.  He proclaimed eternal life, forgiveness, redemption, salvation, love, peace, joy, hope, etc…. and yet people still reject His offer of eternal life.  It makes no sense to reject this but countless millions intentionally choose this path for their life.  Denial and rejection of Jesus Christ end in eternal hell.  Now is the time to call on Him, confess your sin and sinful nature, and cling to, trust in, and rely on His sacrifice on the cross.  Belief and faith in Him alone equal eternal life.  There is no promise of a tomorrow for anyone.  Now is the day of salvation.  Do not keep putting off trust and belief in Jesus Christ.  Eternity in heaven or hell depends on this intentional choice.
