Put Your faith in Jesus

EXHORTATION through the BOOK of LIFE

Scriptures to ponder :

“The other disciples therefore said to him, “We have seen the Lord.” So he said to them, “Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe.””John‬ ‭20‬:‭25‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

*_"“Jesus said to him, “Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.””

‭‭John‬ ‭20‬:‭29‬ ‭

                    PUT YOUR FAITH IN JESUS✨

After His resurrection the Lord appeared to His disciples. The one called Thoma was absent. So the other disciples said to him, "we have seen the Lord." In his disbelief, he exclaimed and said: “Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe.””

‭‭John‬ ‭20‬:‭25‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Eight days after that, the Lord appeared while they were all together with Thomas. He allowed him to examine him to confirm His love and said to him: , “Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”John‬ ‭20‬:‭29‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Beloved, It is written: “NOW FAITH is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses].”Hebrews‬ ‭11‬:‭1‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

 Do you see, the life of the Christian faith is based on the work accomplished by the Lord Jesus for you and me about 2000 years ago, none of us was alive at the time.

However, it is observed that many well-intentioned Christians await physical manifestations to confirm that they are filled with the Holy Spirit. This is why they do chain cycles of fasting-prayer and hope to receive the flames of fire described in the acts of the apostles, etc. This will not be the case when all these efforts are intended to please God. For in Christ you are accepted unconditionally (Ephesians 1: 6). Only the work accomplished by Jesus is evident in your current life if you know your identity.

Beloved, we are those who believe without having seen. We are the ones who have received a mission: "“teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭28‬:‭20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

You have all the promises of Jesus for you the new creature. The scene is set, now it's up to you to take advantage of it!

Jesus’ beloved !
