Hearing, Believing and Having

From: Echoes of Grace: 1982

Praying, reading the Bible and reformation are positive hindrances if trusted in as a means of earning salvation, though essential as a proof of life in the soul after one is saved.

God's Word says: "He that believeth on Me hath everlasting life." John 6:47⁴⁷Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. (John 6:47). And, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that heareth My Word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath everlasting life." John 5:24²⁴Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. (John 5:24).

Mark the three steps: hearing, believing and having! How simple! Have you heard?-and believed? Then God says you have "everlasting life."
