Believing in the Son

Believing in the Son

“Yes, God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not be lost but may have eternal life.”  (John 3: 16)

Jesus is the expression of God’s love for the world.  To the question, how do you know that God loves the world?  The simple answer is:  Jesus.  The presence of Jesus in our life is the conclusive evidence of God’s love for us.  That is, “for everyone who believes in him.”  

What does believe in Jesus mean?  It means we accept Jesus as the light of our life, the center and the explanation of our life.  To believe in Jesus also means that I agree freely to walk in this light.  The light is provided by the Gospel.  

To believe in Jesus progresses in time to knowing him intimately, loving him passionately and making the commitment to follow him everywhere.
