"The Lord Believes..."

“The Lord Believes…”

Blessings Folk!

The Lord has equipped True Believers with all that we need - through His Word, His Spirit, His Body.

We are not powerless.

Something struck me years ago.
I mention it frequently, but think it is good to “pull it all together.”

The Truth of the Word of God is often accosted by the world...and even “believers”, especially academia within religious institutions.

How are we to respond?

This is useful...

“The Lord Jesus believes it.”

The Lord believed the fish story of Jonah…

Matthew 12
 39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
 40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
 41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.

The Lord believed the story of Noah…
The Lord believes He will return...

Matthew 24
 37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
 38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
 39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

The Lord believed in man/woman marriage…
The Lord believed in the Genesis creation account...He quotes Genesis 1
The Lord believed in Adam and Eve...

Matthew 19
 4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
 5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
 6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

The Lord believed Daniel was a prophet…

Matthew 24
 15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand)


The Lord confirms/affirms/acknowledges/verifies the Word.

To recap, the Lord believed/believes…

  • Jonah
  • Noah
  • Adam/Eve
  • Creation ex nihilo
  • Sodom/Gomorrah
  • Marriage
  • Demons
  • Angels
  • Heaven
  • Eternity
  • Lake of Fire
  • His Return
  • etc. etc.

Many/Most of these are denied by a large number of those who profess to be christian.

If the Lord believes, why do we believe not.
