Believe God
“Impossible for God to lie” (Hebrews 6:18).
“I believe God” (Acts 27:25).
Sometimes I have heard people say, referring to some statement from the Bible, “Well, I find it hard to believe that!” Perhaps they would be more honest if they said, “I find it hard to believe God!”
When God speaks we are to accept what He says without question. Those who don’t, will find out too late that what God has said about sin and eternity is the truth. When the Bible states that, “all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God,” (Romans 3:23), that is exactly what it means. When we read about hell and the consequences of rejecting God’s offer of mercy and salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ and the work of Calvary, it is no exaggeration. God means what He says, and says what He means.
Our first responsibility is, “repent ye, and believe the gospel” (Mark 1:15). Or, as Paul and Silas put it to the jailor in the prison in Philippi, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved” (Acts 16:31).
