What does it mean to “believe” in Jesus? Does it mean you believe Jesus was a real historical person who lived, breathed, and died on this planet? Does it mean that you believe in His teachings? Or does it mean that you believe He is who He says He is and that He was resurrected from the dead and lives today? How does believing in Jesus affect your life?
Most people who profess believing in Jesus live their lives as if Jesus was crucified, dead and buried. They read and learn about Him, but they don’t walk and talk with Him. As a result they live their lives as though Jesus doesn’t exist. They worry, they get stressed out, they try to overcome their problems on their own because a dead man can offer no help or assistance to the living.
Followers of Jesus know that their Lord and Savior lives. He is interactive in their daily lives. When they pray, they know He listens. They do not worry or get stressed out over daily living because they know He walks with them. They can do all things through Jesus because He gives them the strength to do so.
A belief in Jesus is worthless. Faith and confidence in Jesus and the willingness to follow and trust Him is priceless and will change your life forever.
