John 12:44-48
“Whoever believes in Me does not believe in Me alone, but in the One who sent Me. And whoever sees Me sees the One who sent Me. I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in Me should remain in darkness. I will not judge those who hear me but don’t obey me, for I have come to save the world and not to judge it. But all who reject me and my message will be judged on the day of judgment by the truth I have spoken.”
😇 Belief in Jesus is predicated on belief in God. But, we cannot properly know God without knowing Jesus. It’s why unbelievers have such a distorted view of God…one without the other is impossible. The two are inseparable. We will be judged more for what we believe than for what we do. If we believe Jesus is our Lord and Savior, our occasional disobedience is forgiven. If we refuse to believe in Jesus, one day the truth will judge us...no matter how perfect we believe we have been.
🙏 Father God, I know you because I know Jesus. It means I know you don’t judge me, but love me at great cost…to rescue me from my sinful nature. Thank you, and help me keep my eyes on you today by keeping my eyes on Jesus I believe you are God’s Son and you have paid my debt of sin through your death and resurrection. Thank you for your grace and mercy when I fail to obey you and give me the wisdom to do better, Amen.
