Acts 8:37 (NKJV) 37 Then Philip said, "If you believe with all your heart, you may." And he answered and said, "I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God."
Believing is much more than just knowing or acknowledging God, this type of believing must come from the heart, not just a blip on our emotional meter but the absolute surrender of all our past, present and future, emotions, ideas and understanding. A man in charge of great financial responsibility to a kingdom, seeks knowledge of God and more precisely, he desires to understand prophecy of the coming Messiah. God charges Phillip with this task and the man of great authority welcomes the spiritual insight, understanding clearly the weight of Gods Word, He confesses Jesus is the Son of God.
The dawning of this Truth of God amazes me every time one sees, hears and understands Jesus is God, has come in the flesh to forgive sins and willingly receives us to Himself. The transformation is wonderful indeed to witness, Jesus entering the heart of one lost and now found, the Truth exploding in the new believer, who once was dead and has just received Life Eternal. "I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God," do you?
Heavenly Father help us to rejoice in the lost finding You, help us Lord to boldly proclaim You are God and Life Eternal is in no other. May all our doings oh God please you, let us consider You before we undertake anything. Amen
