#Believers

 We are called 'BELIEVERS' because we believe.  "Everyone believes." you say. Yes, everyone believes something.  It is what you believe that makes the difference.

Would you believe the media?  It is interesting that when a witness is called to court to recount what she saw or heard she is required to swear to 'tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth'.  She cannot leave out any information concerning the event in question or tell a falsehood because leaving out information is the same as telling a lie.

"Let God be true, but every man is a liar." Romans 3:4 tells us.  The Holy Spirit spoke through Paul to make us aware of this fact - every man is a liar.  When the 'rubber meets the road' everyone of us will lie.  We lie for many reasons, but we do lie.  We can't take the word of the media or advertisers or politicians as absolute truth.  We must be discerning and in order to be discerning we must know some facts about the subject.  Otherwise, we will be snookered in.

The Lord Jesus Christ spoke of Himself as 'TRUTH'.  Believers choose to believe God's Word, the written Word and the Word become flesh.  Jesus said, " Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one if born again he cannot see the kingdom of God." John 3:3 and again in verse 18, "He who believes in Him is not judged: he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."  These are facts and Jesus told the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.  We can believe these words and place our trust in them, absolutely.

Believing Jesus' words makes all the difference in this world and in the world to come.
