Meditate On
These things I have written to you who believe in the
name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that
you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.
1 John 5:13
Right
Believing Produces Right Living
Everyone who came to Jesus for healing was healed. Yet,
there were those who were right in His presence that didn’t get healed. Who
were they?
They were the religious folk who focused on right living
outwardly, but didn’t have right believing inwardly—they didn’t believe in
Jesus. They had a form of self-righteousness and didn’t see their need for the
Savior. I am talking about the Pharisees. There is no record of any one of them
getting healed in the Gospels. The ones who got healed and received miracles of
provision, restoration and transformation from Him were people who simply
believed in Jesus and His goodness. They weren’t perfect in their behavior, but
they had right believing.
My friend, right believing is at the root of right
living. Right believing in the goodness and grace of our Lord Jesus is like an
“on” switch that allows His power and grace to flow into your life and
transform it. It gives you new desires and new strength. You will want to live
right for the glory of Jesus.
So don’t worry about right living. Instead, make sure
that you are believing right by constantly feeding on the gospel of Jesus
Christ. When you believe right, you will live right to the glory of God!
