"Do You BELIEVE This?"

 

“Do You BELIEVE This?”

 

Jesus said to her, “I am the Resurrection and the Life.  The one who believes in Me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in Me will never die.  Do you believe this?”  “Yes, Lord,” she replied, “I believe that You are the Messiah, the Son of God, who is to come into the World.”       John 11:25-27

 

Mary, Martha, and Lazarus, were sisters and brother, and they were close friends with Jesus, who stayed at their home on many occasions.  When Lazarus took sick and died, Martha couldn’t understand why Jesus didn’t come to see Lazarus, before he died, in HOPES of Jesus HEALING their brother.  But Lazarus was in the tomb for four days, before Jesus came.  Martha met Jesus and said: “If you had been here, my brother would not have died.  But I know that even NOW God will give you whatever you ask.”

 

 Jesus said to Her, “I am the RESURRECTION and the LIFE,” meaning that He is the SOURCE of RESURRECTION and ALL LIFE.  And for the one who BELIEVES in Him they will LIVE, even though they DIE, they will still receive ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS.  It is ONLY in this PHYSICAL LIFE that you have the OPPORTUNITY to receive this ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN, and to ESCAPE an ETERNAL LIFE in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS.  And you MUST BELIEVE in the LORD JESUS CHRIST and GIVE your LIFE to Him. 

 

Jesus told Martha, “Your brother will rise again.”  And Martha’s reply to Jesus was: “I know he will rise again in the Resurrection at the Last Day.”  Martha BELIEVED in the Resurrection of the Saints of God, but she and Mary were hoping that Jesus would come and HEAL Lazarus before he died.

 

When Jesus said to her, “Whoever LIVES by BELIEVING in Me will never die.  Do you BELIEVE this?”  Her answer was “Yes, Lord, I BELIEVE that YOU are the MESSIAH, the SON of GOD, Who is to come into the world.”   Martha BELIEVED that JESUS was WHO HE claimed to be.  DO YOU BELIEVE THIS?

 

If you have given your HEART and LIFE to GOD, then you will have an ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN, because you LIVE by BELIEVING in the LORD JESUS CHRIST.  But if you have NOT given your

 HEART and LIFE to GOD, then YOU are an UNBELIEVER, and your destiny is an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, unless you are WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your sinful life-style, and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  And CONFESS your sins to Him, and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  BELIEVING, with ALL your HEART, that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you before God.  Then you MUST ACCEPT His Gift of SALVATION, and BELIEVE that JESUS is the RESURRECTION and the LIFE, and ONLY through Him is SALVATION. So, do this NOW, while you still can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!       “DO YOU BELIEVE THIS?”
