Jesus Lives In The Pain…
Faith is one thing, belief is next level. Having faith in Jesus Christ carries most of us through our days, but about belief? Do we actually believe what the Holy Bible teaches?
“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. ~John 14:12 NKJB
Those words are from Jesus Christ not a minister, rabbi or pastor. These are words that should carry weight in our lives. These words should take us past faith and drop us squarely into belief. We should embrace His promise. We should honor His teachings. We should follow His words.
Then they said to Him, “What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?”
Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.”
Therefore they said to Him, What sign will You perform then, that we may see it and believe You? What work will You do?
Our fathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’ ”
Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” ~John 6:28-33 NKJB
Where do we go from here? How do we make the leap from faith to belief? Are the same thing?

We love helping others and believe that’s one of the reasons we are chosen as Ambassadors of the Kingdom, to serve God’s children. We look to the Greatest Commandment as our Powering force.
When Jesus Christ is found in the pain we are suffering, faith becomes belief. When Jesus Christ becomes our shield, our only Truth and the great Councilor, faith becomes belief. When Jesus Christ is first and we are second, faith becomes belief. Acceptance and approval.
Either the Gospel is the divine Word of God teaching us how to live and how to be a reflection of Him, or it’s nothing more than a historical account of events.
