Believing God’s word – Sis. Stella Dhinakaran

“But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.” (John 20:31)
 
Dear friend, I greet you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Today let’s meditate on the verse from John 20:31, “But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.” Yes, every believer should know about the Lord Jesus Christ in a personal level. That is Christian life. For that, we have to read the word of God. Especially, if you read the four gospels you will learn much about the Son of God.

According to Romans 10:17, “Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.” So we have to hear the word of God.  For that, we have to read the word of God. Through the verses we read in the Bible, we will grow in our faith on Jesus in our life. Not only that, we will learn the truth from the Bible to overcome the lies of the world.  John 8:32 says “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”Yes, dear friend you must learn to truth as much as you can from the Bible.
If only we know the truth we will be delivered from all our problems and miseries of life. See the life of Mary the sister of Martha. Because she was hearing the word of God from Jesus and she was waiting at His feet, spending time in His presence and her faith was kindled and she believed in the Lord, for He said that she had chosen the good part. Even today, you will receive such faith. Just believe and the Lord will supply your need right now.
Prayer:
Loving Father,

Give me faith as You gave Mary sister of Martha. Help me to choose the good part which is knowing You in my life. Enlighten my mind with Your truth and set me free from all my problems.

In Jesus’ precious name, I pray. Amen.
