Believe His Word

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16

Perhaps the strangest concept in this verse is not that God loved His creation, but that anyone can have eternal life by believing in the Son of God. Believe? That's all I have to do? One might ask in reading this verse. The start of believing, or perhaps both happen at the same time, comes when we believe His word. Jesus spoke these words in this verse, and those in the context all around it. We believe those words about believing in Him and we have eternal life. We believe His word and the Word of God comes to live in us.

It seems too simple! I need to say more about it. Ah, beware the danger of over-analyzing it, dear self, and just believe in Him!

Love to you on this Friday!
