WHEN I THINK ABOUT YOU

Sometimes when I think about You … I have questions.

         Ephesians 2: 8&9 – talks about being saved by grace not by our works – I get that – You are the way, the truth and the life and no one enters heaven except through You.

But then verse 10 talks about us being created in Christ Jesus to do good works … works that God has prepared in advance for us to do.

Sometimes when I think about You … I think about eternal life.

         John 3:16 - … whoever believes in You shall not perish but have eternal life.

         So then … will I really live forever with You?

         Sometimes when I think about You … I think about believing … there seems to be more to it.

         James 2:19 says that even demons believe … that there is one God … and shudder.

         So then … how do I believe enough?

Sometimes when I think about You … I want to do something.

         I want to do exactly what pleases You.

         John 6:29 – says that my work is to believe in the One that God sent. That would be You – right Jesus?

         So then … can it really be that simple?
