Well, here's the thing though. It looks overwhelming, but it really isn't because Christ said in Matthew 11 verse 28 to eight thirty, he says, come on to me all ye that labor are and are heavy laden, and I will, what? Give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.

And the Lord guided me to John 10 verse 26 to 27 which which reads, but ye believe not because you are not of my sheep. As I said unto you, my sheep, number one, hear my voice. Number two, I know them, and number three, they follow me. So we're getting somewhere here. To believe, you have to do three things. Hear his voice, have him know you, and follow Christ.

This is a scary verse. Matthew seven verse 21 to 23 says, not everyone that said unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he that doeth the will of him my father which is in heaven. Many would say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name have we cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works? And then what? I will profess unto them, I never knew you. Depart from me, ye that work iniquity. [01:45:39] (35 seconds)  #ActionsOverWords

Well, most have seen and interpreted this verse incorrectly, thereby leading to a false sense of security. Why? Because I, myself, I sincerely do not believe that merely believing in Christ, that he existed, he rose again, is alive today, is enough for one to be guaranteed being on track to be reunited with him.

The first part of believing in Christ requires of us for us to hear his voice. What does that mean to hear the voice of Christ? John 18 verse 37 provides an answer, but there are there are layers here. The first it says, everyone that is of the truth hear it my voice and we know that the truth, that all of God's commandments are truth. Right? So what does that mean? That means that first, is for you to use the commandments as a barometer as to where you are in your lives. Do you measure up to the commandments? Are you living a life that's consistent with his commandments and the commandments are used as a mirror in this regard? [01:41:04] (40 seconds)  #CommandmentsAsMirror

The second part of believing in Christ in John three sixteen requires that we have him know us. What does that mean? John 15 verse 14 says, ye are my friends if you do whatsoever I command you. John eight verse 31 also says, then said Jesus to those Jews who believed on him, if you continue in my word, then ye are my disciples indeed, which means studying and live not his word because you have to study it first to know what is expected of you to live it out.

You gotta find out what God what Jesus has told you to do. That means you have to get into his word. And you have to continue in his word. Continue studying and living out his word. You you learn about something, you apply it in your life. You don't postpone it and say, well, when I'm ready. No. You could die tomorrow and never get that chance. You're done.

It's not a question for you to say, well, is this God speaking? Where is the money gonna come from? What am I gonna do with my children? What about my job? Well, first of all, who gave you that job? Who told you to take that job? Who told you to take that job? Did you consult with God before you got that job, or did God give you that job? And the fact that you can't leave the job for Christ means the job is an idol. [01:56:36] (32 seconds)  #JobOrGod
