| These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God. |

Right Believing Produces Right Living | |
Everyone who came to Jesus for
healing was healed. Yet, there were those who were right in His presence
that didn’t get healed. Who were they?
They were the religious folk who
focused on right living outwardly, but didn’t have right believing
inwardly—they didn’t believe in Jesus. They had a form of
self-righteousness and didn’t see their need for the Savior. I am
talking about the Pharisees. There is no record of any one of them
getting healed in the Gospels. The ones who got healed and received
miracles of provision, restoration and transformation from Him were
people who simply believed in Jesus and His goodness. They weren’t
perfect in their behavior, but they had right believing.
My friend, right believing is at
the root of right living. Right believing in the goodness and grace of
our Lord Jesus is like an “on” switch that allows His power and grace to
flow into your life and transform it. It gives you new desires and new
strength. You will want to live right for the glory of Jesus.
So don’t not worry about right
living. Instead, make sure that you are believing right by constantly
feeding on the gospel of Jesus Christ. When you believe right, you will
live right to the glory of God!
