WORDS OF WISDOM

Our destiny rests on faith. We are saved by faith. “Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life” (John 3:36). God cannot be expected to welcome those who have never trusted Him. Heaven would not be a good place for anyone cynical about God. Faith in God as Savior is a major Bible theme and salvation is more than a conversion experience. Salvation is God taking responsibility for us in all we do, for all our lives and eternity, His saving care at work. The Greek New Testament words speak of faith as both our single act, and as a continuous stance. The Gospel of John, a special faith book, always uses the verb “believe” and the participle “believing”, and of receiving life while believing. By faith we receive what otherwise we cannot conceive of, to know God and Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. God bless you. REINHARD BONNKE
