BELIEVE

Believe.

Yeah yeah ... When the people see this word they would be like "Hey! That's Justin Bieber's concert!"

But here, I'm going to share about something more than Justin Bieber's concert. I'm talking about Someone Who creates Justin Bieber and the world - including me and you!

Acts 16:31 They replied, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved - you and your household."

To be honest, believing something or believing in someone is not easy. It needs process and takes time. It is just a piece of cake to say "Hey you! Believe in Jesus" but when we say those words, do we really trust in Jesus? I might put Godly posts on my blog. However, I'm still working out on my faith! I'm still learning here!

I was continuing Acts 16. One of the stories there (the last story) caught my attention. So, that time Paul and Silas were in prison but they still prayed, praised God and sang hymns for God (I can't imagine it! Praising God in prison!). But then, there was a violent earthquake that made the doors of the prison opened. The jailer was very scared if his boss found out that the doors of the prison were opened. So the jailer tried to kill himself but Paul stopped him from doing that! The jailer didn't know what to do to be safe. Paul told the jailer to believe in Jesus and so he did!

I can't believe it! Paul and Silas praised God though they were in trouble that time! Not only that, they still rescued the jailer who was supposed to keep them in jail! Paul and Silas really did have faith in Jesus Christ our Lord!

You see, it is hard to believe in someone these days. There are just too many lies that cover the truth! We, as human beings, trust in someone we really know or at least often meet. It is impossible to believe in someone whom we just knew for a few seconds.

God knows that gaining someone's trust isn't easy. But don't you realize that God is trying to make salvation easier for people!? In the old testament, it was all about obeying God. If you don't obey, then you fade. Yep, the law of Moses must be fulfilled! It was hard for people that time! Not 100% of them believe in God yet have to obey the rules.

For God so loved the world, He gave us His Only Son Jesus Christ so that anyone who believes in Him shall not fade but receive eternal life! (John 3:16) Now, God makes things easier to people. Now, the main key here is "Believe". Remember the man who was crucified next to Jesus? He was a criminal but in his last minute of life he believed in Jesus and he was saved!

As Christians, we of course don't want to be like that. Though we believe in Jesus and get ourselves a ticket to Heaven, we still want to make God happy. We want to reflect Jesus in us. That is why we also try to obey God!

Remember, God doesn't only ask us to do this and that, this and that! God is helping us! God also wants His children to be with Him in Heaven! He is helping us and making efforts! God truly understands us. He knows that making someone trust in someone is hard. In order to make us believe that He is our awesome God and Savior, He gives us miracles! Wow! Note: breathing is also a miracle! Miracles do not always refer to spectacular things. God also never forces us. He wants process not instant things!

So, now do you believe in Jesus? Well, I know that we all believe in Jesus Christ our God! I believe that God provides miracles for us because He loves us! He doesn't want us to fade, but live eternally with Him, our Heavenly Daddy♥

Amen!
