Jul 21, 2023Tap to summarizeHey, it's Mike Henry with Follower of One. Let's continue our conversation from yesterday, where we were talking about how to get right with God, so we'll call this episode part two. Today our verse is Acts 16:31. They said: "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household." Yesterday we were quoting from the old Testament in Habakkuk, and it said that the righteous shall live by faith. Sometimes, we think that all you have to do is believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved. That's exactly what this verse says, but this word believe, and sometimes what we translate, what we understand as “believe”, like “I believe that certain things will happen” or I believe this, or I believe that, the way that we hold our intellect and our beliefs in this country, in this culture, in this time, it's a little different than what Habakkuk and the author of Acts are saying. I believe this word “believe” and this word “faith”, the faith that we live by in Habakkuk, and this belief that the Jews understood when they were being told “believe in the Lord, Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household”, it means the same thing. It means that we must translate our life. We must transform our life. Maybe even the word “repent” fits in this, because as I believe in the Lord Jesus, I now bend my life to do what He says. Yesterday, or in the previous episode, we heard that as lining up behind Jesus; the righteous will live by faith. And here we're learning it as well. Turn your life, bend your life to follow the Lord Jesus. Believe in Him and do what He said. Some of us, we filter, I filter, I do this. I filter my own choices sometimes through the lens of the Lord Jesus. There are times when I choose not to do what He says. There are times when I choose not to tell the absolute truth. That's a full confession. There are times when I want to cut corners on the truth, or make something sound better than it was, just so that I won't irritate someone else. When I do those things, I'm not believing in the Lord Jesus at that moment, I'm actually trusting myself. I'm following my own instruction. I become an idolater, because I put something else in the place of God. I'm listening to me, instead of listening to Jesus. I want to challenge us as followers of Jesus Christ. We want to live by our faith from Habakkuk 2 in the previous episode. And we want to bend our life to believe and to live like we know that everything that Jesus Christ said is absolutely true. When we point our lives after Jesus, we are saved, and that salvation, it's dependent upon Him, not us. So it doesn't turn on or off when we stop believing, but the salvation that we experience every day, the salvation that we experience comes because we follow Jesus Christ. Today, you can choose moment by moment, decision by decision, to follow Jesus Christ and do what He says. And you watch, you will make a difference in the lives of the people that you work with. Don't believe me? Try it out. Try for 30 days, pray for your coworkers every day for the next 30 days, and watch what Jesus does. I hope that every person listening to this podcast can bend their lives and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. But that means that our lifestyle will change, because now, we'll be taking direction from Him. Thank you for being a marketplace minister. Thank you for considering daily how you can transform your own life by following Jesus, and making a difference in the lives of your coworkers. Check out the tips that we have and the online community that we've created at followerofone.org, where you can connect with others of us who are trying to do the same thing on a daily basis.
