“A TRUE Confession of Faith”

“A  TRUE Confession of Faith”

 

Simon Peter replied, “Lord, to whom would we go?  You have the words that give eternal Life.  We believe, and we know You are the Holy One of God.”   John 6:68-69

 

The spontaneity of the Apostle Peter wasn’t always a bad thing, as was the case here.  The Lord Jesus was teaching His disciples, not only the Twelve, but all those who followed Him, and sat under His teachings. Some may have been TRUE BELIEVERS, but MANY were NOT, and the MANY LEFT, because they could NOT UNDERSTAND His teaching, on Him being the Bread of Life.  They grumbled, and said:  “This teaching is too hard.  Who can accept it?”  And they walked away from the TRUE BREAD of LIFE, and their opportunity to receive Eternal Life in Heaven, with ALL its BLESSINGS.  

 

When they had left, Jesus turned to the Twelve Apostles, and He asked:  “Are you also going to leave?”   And Peter, spontaneously answered for the Twelve, with this CONFESSION of FAITH.  He replied:  “Lord, to whom would we go?”  Peter KNEW that JESUS was the ONLY WAY to OBTAIN ETERNAL LIFE. He continues with this affirmation:  “You have the words that give ETERNAL LIFE.” Peter, realized that CHRIST ALONE, was the ONLY WAY, and HOPE for that ETERNAL LIFE.  But, to me, the BEST part of his CONFESSION is: “We BELIEVE, and KNOW You are the HOLY ONE of GOD!” Yet, there was one in the group that did NOT BELIEVE, and that is Judas Iscariot, who BETRAYED Jesus, and because of the GUILT of his BETRAYAL, he dies by his own hands, and he did NOT die as a TRUE BELIEVER, with an ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN.

 

Do you have a TRUE CONFESSION of FAITH, like Peter had?  If you do, then you will have ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS. But, if you have NOT given your HEART and LIFE to God, then you are headed for an ETERNAL LIFE in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE, once you are there.  However, God is giving you the opportunity to CHANGE your DESTINY by:  ADMITTING that you are a SINNER, in NEED of the SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST, who gave His LIFE for YOUR SALVATION. You MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART, that JESUS. DIED for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST CONFESS your sins to Him, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART, and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS. And ACCEPT His Gift of SALVATION with a TRUE CONFESSION of FAITH.  Do this NOW, while you still can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!
