Most Assuredly

“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life. John 5:24

Let us close the first month of 2020 with an assurance from the Lord Himself. Most assuredly, our Lord tells us, and gives to us once more the words of eternal life: believe in Him who sent Me. Yes, believe in God and do not come into judgment. Pass from death into life through faith in Christ Jesus. Rest most assured in the word of Christ the Lord, the light of the world. 

Rules can be such a burden to us. Therefore, let us end this month with the basics. Believe. Hear the words of life from the Christ, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. Believe. So often we believe and then let the rains come down on our victory parade by snatching up a rule book. Just believe, and let the Lord our God work in us to fulfill those rules of the Law. Growth in knowing our love for the Lord our God will come in time as His Spirit works in us. For now, just believe in Him. And the basics of that is to believe what He says to you and me right now, up there just after the title, it begins with, "Most assuredly". 

Most assuredly, the Lord our God loves you this day,
