Believe in the Son

Believe in the Son
The apostle John states,

“Anyone who believes in the Son of God has this testimony in his heart. 

Anyone who does not believe God has made him out to be a liar,

 because he has not believed the testimony God has given about his Son.  

And this is the testimony: 

God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.  

He who has the Son has life; 

he who does not have the Son of God 

does not have life.” 

1John5:10-12

The apostle John throughout his gospel and his letters makes some very clear statements about Jesus and a persons relationship with Jesus.
Here he makes it clear,
1/ God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
2/ He who has the Son has life;
3/ he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.”
In his gospel John quotes Jesus as saying,
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.  
Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son”. John 3:16-18.
These are if you think about it radical statements. That if right, as I as a Christian believe they are, they have eternal implications for all who here about Jesus.
Jesus is the one and only Son of God the Saviour of mankind.
C. S. Lewis states,
“Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important.” C. S. Lewis.
To those who read this and are not a Christian I would ask that you take time to read the New Testament. What have you to loose.
Blaise Pascal wrote of God,
“Belief is a wise wager. Granted that faith cannot be proved, what harm will come to you if you gamble on its truth and it proves false? If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists.” Blaise Pascal.
The same is true of Jesus. If he is the Son of God as we Christians think then you gain eternity with God and all that goes with it. If what Christians believe is false then you loose nothing.
Please think about it.

C. S. Lewis wrote,
“Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important.’
                                                       C. S. Lewis
Jesus speaking to Martha said,
“Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies;  and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?”
“Yes Lord” she told Him, “I believe you are the Christ the Son of God, who was to come into the world,” 
John 11:25,26
Even when faced with a hostile crowd Jesus claimed to be the Christ, the Messiah. John’s gospel records,
“The Jews gathered around him, saying, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.” 
Jesus answered, “I did tell you, but you do not believe. The miracles I do in my Father’s name speak for me, but you do not believe because you are not my sheep.  
My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.  
I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand.  
My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand.  
I and the Father are one.” 
Again the Jews picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus said to them, “I have shown you many great miracles from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?” 
                                                                                                              John 10:24-32.
The claims Jesus made are believed by the apostles and the writers of the New Testament as fact. They are believed by Christians to this day. They are facts every individual needs to accept as true or reject.
There is no half way with Jesus either you accept his claim to be God or you do not. The chose you make I believe will decide your eternal destiny.
Like C. S. Lewis said,
“Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important.’
                                                        C. S. Lewis
