1 Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. ~ John 14:1
So many people believe that as long as they believe in God, that’s enough. In fact, many believe that as long as you believe in a god, that’s enough to save you, but that’s not what Jesus said. Jesus laid a foundation down for us first. Yes, believe in God. This is the foundation. You must first believe there is a God who created all things. Now, you must also believe that Jesus is God.
You can’t just believe in God and not believe in Jesus. There is no other way to the Father. The only way to the Father is through the Son. Believing in God isn’t enough, even if it’s the God of the Bible, the God of Israel.
Salvation is found in one name and one name alone, Jesus. It was His blood that was shed at Calvary. It was His life that was given as the final sacrifice. And it was His life that was raised from the dead, so it is only through Him that we live. So, yes, believing in God is important, but it is meaningless unless you also believe in Jesus.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Believe Also In Jesus.
