Do You “Believe In Jesus”?

I sat in church buildings in Lancaster, Pennsylvania week after week, year after year, as a child, teenager, and young adult listening to and believing the message that “Believing in Jesus” means to "Believe in what he DID (i.e. died on a cross and rose again)”, and that if I mentally believed that, I would go to heaven.  Well, was I ever SHOCKED when God the Father began showing and telling me through His Word (Bible) in AD 2006 - 2007 that I had been lied to all my life!  Can you imagine?  Friend, this is Satan’s biggest and most damning lie told in the religion of “Christianity”.  Yes, horrifyingly, Satan is using religion – specifically, the religion of “Christianity” – to deceive people and ultimately send them to hell!

So, do you want to hear the TRUTH about what the Biblical phrase “Believing in Jesus” means?  It means to “Believe in what he TAUGHT” proved by our obedience to those teachings in our daily living!  And what did Jesus continually teach in story after story and parable after parable?   LOVE!!!  Every one of his teachings (with respect to what WE must DO to obtain eternal life) was based on obeying the 10 Love Commandments … don’t be proud but be humble, don’t idolize dirt but idolize spirit, don’t murder but forgive, don’t commit adultery but honor the marriage bed, don’t steal but give, don’t lie but speak truth, don’t covet but be content, etc.  Do you see?  These things are all just the specifics of how one keeps the Golden Rule: “Do for Others what you want them to Do for You” (Matthew 7:12).  It's just love folks!   But THAT is precisely what people don’t want to do!

James argued this well when he wrote: “Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.  But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?” (James 2:19-20).  Here’s the deal folks; every devil in hell believes in what Jesus DID!  They know it with absolute certainty, for they were there.  They watched it happen!  They absolutely know Jesus is the one in whom mankind can receive forgiveness for their sins.  But do you know what they do NOT believe in?  LOVE !!!  In other words, they do NOT believe in what Jesus TAUGHT!  They know nothing about it, for they are full of darkness.  They only know the ways of pride (selfishness) demonstrated through greed. Therefore, they will NEVER get to heaven.

I can use James' words above (with respect to what "believing in Jesus" means) and truthfully write to you: “Thou believest that Jesus died on the cross for your sins; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.  But wilt thou know, O vain man, that Faith (believing in Jesus) without works (of love) is dead?”  I avidly encourage you to rise every day and recite the following words until the message sticks: “Believing in Jesus does NOT mean to believe in what he DID, it means to believe in what he TAUGHT.”  Then ask yourself, “Do I believe in Jesus?”  Remember, “Whosoever BELIEVETH IN HIM shall not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).
