Believe
God’s Vital Provisions
March 9, 2025
Pastor Terry Fulks
30 Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; 31 but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.
John 20:30–31 ESV
Here are four vital elements that God gives you to live a flourishing life.
- Believe that Jesus gives you light.
12 Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.
John 8:12 ESV
4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
John 1:4–5 ESV
- Believe that Jesus gives you life.
10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.
John 10:10 ESV
12 Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.
John 8:12 ESV
- Believe that Jesus loves you.
16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:16 ESV
34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.
John 13:34 ESV
- Believe that Jesus tells you the truth.
31 So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
John 8:31–32 ESV
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
John 14:6 ESV
Quotes:
“Just because truth is unpopular today does not mean it shouldn’t be proclaimed.”
Billy Graham
“Today, begin to believe right by choosing to know and believe in the powerful truths of God’s Word and in His love for you.”
Joseph Prince
Points to ponder:
- To benefit from God’s light, life, love, and truth is to first receive it and then to give away.
- God’s light, life, love, and truth is what builds your core in order for you to thrive.
- These truths give you spiritual strength.
- Jesus said, “I have come to give you life and give it to you more abundantly.” John 10:10
- Would you like to receive His life?
Connection Prayer: Lord, I need your spiritual quickening to give spiritual life forever. I want to thank you for your light, life, love, and your truth. I now, with what faith I have, confess that you Jesus died on the cross for my sins, were buried, and rose from the dead on the third day. I take you as my Savior, Lord, and Leader. Please forgive me of my sins and thank you for your forgiveness. Help me to follow you all the days of my life. Amen.
