Believe Is An Action Verb

• How does your faith affect your life?

• What are some ways that you put your faith into action?

“The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!”
Mark 1:15

At the very beginning of his ministry on earth, Jesus said, “The time has come.” He had arrived. The world as people knew it was about to be changed forever, and they would need to take action. People needed to repent and believe the Good News.

But there’s more to believing than lip service, isn’t there? Believe is an action verb. Belief in Jesus has to affect the way that we live, or it’s not sincere. Jesus asks us to repent and to believe in the gospel. This means that we need to accept him as our Savior and give our lives to him. It means we must submit to his will for our lives. It means we must follow his lead at all costs.

Worshiping Jesus should affect every aspect of our lives in every possible way. None of this is easy. None of this is simple. But when we do it, life changes for the better. We become healthier people, filled with joy, who make the world a better place.

PRAYER
Dear God, thank you so much for your Son. Please help us to live out our beliefs. Please help us to make believe an action verb. Amen.
