Title: Faith to be Saved / John 5:24
Content Saving faith/ John 5:24
Key Verse: “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.”
Word: When we are living our life of faith, sometimes people ask, “Why can’t good people go to heaven?” However, no matter how good a person is, no sinful person can go to heaven. But because of our faith in Jesus, our sins are forgiven and we go to heaven. Even if you are a good person, there is no perfect righteous person on this earth. Because human beings are sinners from the beginning, they are born on this earth as sinners and live in sin. Everyone is just a sinner.
But we are saved and go to heaven because we have been forgiven by the blood of Jesus. Large rocks sink in water, but small stones also sink. Likewise, even a small sin will inevitably go to hell. That is why we receive the forgiveness of sins through the blood of Jesus and go to heaven. So, what is saving faith? Are we simply speaking of faith in knowing Jesus? It's not like that. Knowing Jesus does not mean you are saved. The saving faith is the faith that knows and believes in Jesus. In other words, it is the belief that God first created the world.
If you do not believe in this, there is no salvation. We must believe and acknowledge that God is the source of the universe, the Creator of the universe, and the Creator of me. And then, because we humans are sinners, we go to hell, but God sent His only begotten Son, Jesus, to this earth to have our sins forgiven. You must believe in the birth of Jesus. Jesus died on the cross at the age of 33. He bore the sins of all mankind and died for them. Then the Lord was resurrected on the third day. You must also believe in this resurrection. And he ascended to heaven. ascended. And he sent the Holy Spirit to be with us today.
And the Lord will return on the last day. And he judges the land. All who believe will be led to salvation, and those who do not believe will fall into hell with their sins. To be saved is to believe in that Jesus, and to believe that if you believe in Jesus, your sins will be forgiven and you will be saved.
Today's verse says, "Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life." If you believe in this very fact, you will receive eternal life and will be transferred from death to life. In the name of Jesus, I pray that you may have this faith to be saved now and live each day enjoying the abundant grace in the joy, thrill, and assurance of salvation.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank you for believing in Jesus and being saved, and help me to live a life full of joy and to live a life of joy and prayer every day. I earnestly pray in the name of Jesus. Amen
