Listen to this blog.
We always thank God that you believed the message we preached. It came from him, and it isn't something made up by humans. You accepted it as God's message, and now he is working in you.
My friends, you did just like God's churches in Judea and like the other followers of Christ Jesus there. And so, you were mistreated by your own people, in the same way they were mistreated by their people.
Those evil people killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and they even chased us away. God doesn't like what they do and neither does anyone else.
They keep us from speaking his message to the Gentiles and from leading them to be saved. They have always gone too far with their sins. Now God has finally become angry and will punish them.
I Thessalonians 2:13-16
Many years ago I heard a man speak seven words that I believe are at the core of the Christian walk. He said "after you believe, the rest is easy."
The source of most Christian struggles is unbelief. If you believe what God has said in the Bible then the "I am with you always" passage puts fear to rest and makes the future secure.
If you know what is in the Bible and believe it as a Christian there is nothing, even death itself that can harm you! The peace that passes understanding will guard your heart and mind.
If you truly believe you will act on that belief. If you believe that the building you are in right now is on fire, you will act on that belief. You will not sit around and hope something will work out. You will immediately either get out of the building or find the fire and put it out! Belief is always followed by action. If you want to see what a man believes, don't ask him, just watch what he does. His actions will tell you what he believes.
This is truly the most powerful witness. It is better to live your testimony that to give your testimony. When your life tells others what you believe God will be glorified by every step you take in life!
