Who Do I Believe

Hebrews 1:1-3 In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 2but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe. 3The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.

Charles Price said, "Knowing what you believe is fine, signing your name with a clear conscience at the end of a creed is fine but the Christian life is about knowing whom I have believed. The more you know Jesus, the more you know God, the more you love Jesus, the more you love God, and the more you trust Jesus, the more you will trust God. In fact is it only when we know Christ that we can know God. Christ is the exact representation of His being and the radiance of God's glory. Timothy said in 2 Timothy 1:12, "I know whom I have believed." Listen we can know all kinds of facts about who God is and what He has done. But head knowledge never saves anyone. Just ask the Demons, according to James they know (head knowledge) there is a God but they do know really know God. This knowledge comes from the heart or soul that has been changed by the power of Jesus Christ. I don't simply want to know facts about God I want to know God in my soul and the only way that will happen is if I surrender to Christ and begin a relationship with Him everyday. Knowing what you believe about something is great but without Jesus it's knowledge. Everything I believe from sin to abortion to end times is centered on Jesus and His Word the Bible.

Father may I today long to know Jesus more and more not just with my head but with my soul that as you are molding and shaping me it may impact me for eternity.
