Do you believe in God?




Listen to this song by Audio Adrenaline called "Believer". Great song with great visual story with it:








1 Peter 1:20-22

20 He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you 21 who through Him believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.



In the verse above it reminds us Jesus has always been. God has always had a plan to redeem us through His Son Jesus. When you put your faith and trust in Jesus and believe He died for your sins and defeated death and rose from the grave, it proves you believe in God himself! So the question is do you believe?



Many say they believe but there is little proof. God's Word is clear....if you believe there is evidence and proof. Look here:





Galatians 5:22-23

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.



John 15:1-8

15 “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. 2 Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 3 You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. 4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.

5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. 8 By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.



James 2:20

But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?



May I remind you the demons believe in God:



James 2:19

You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble!



Believing there is a God and giving your life to God through Jesus Christ are two different things!



So my friends let me ask again, Do you believe in God? Can you prove it? Is the fruit evident to you and others?



Chew on this today, you are the one who will stand face to face with God one day soon, will He recognize you as a good and faithful servant?
