Belief In Christ Jesus

But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth, to which He called you by our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Thessalonians 2:13-14

It seems too simple for us in this advanced age and we yearn in the flesh for solid evidence to touch and see. Believe in Jesus? Don't we need a large rule book with a planned journey up an increasingly difficult set of tasks? What about believing those stories from that one book? Shouldn't the science of digging in the dirt have found one or more articles showing that this thing actually happened? Of course, when it comes to faith and belief, it does not necessarily change unbelief when a science such as archeology does find the ruins of a city right where the Bible says it was when a story happened there. When Jesus returns in His glory at the end, it is likely that many will still be heard to say, "I don't believe it!" For those who believe in Jesus though, we say along with John as the Revelation comes to a close: Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!

Great is His faithfulness! He comes soon!
