IT TAKES MORE THAN JUST BELIEVING!
by Lewis E. Thomas IT TAKES MORE THAN JUST BELIEVING! Many today have the notion that simply believing in Jesus Christ will save their soul!
Yet, Faith without "REPENTANCE" via good works is dead as James 2: has clearly told!
James 2:19 says; Thou believest that there is one God, the devil's also "BELIEVE"!
The devils haven't repented and they continue to walk in "EVIL" as they work hard to deceive!
If we say we believe in Jesus and we continue in our "EVIL WAYS" of the past!
We are equivalent to all the devil's who will one day taste the "POWER OF GOD'S WRATH"!
Many proclaim to believe in Jesus Christ and by doing so think they are worthy to walk on Heaven's Streets of Gold!
While having never "REPENTED" and forsaken their old life of Sin that will "DAMN" their soul!
It takes more than just believing in Jesus to be saved and "BORN AGAIN"!
As Billy Graham always preached, "Salvation is not possible unless a lost soul repents and "FORSAKES" their "Former Lifestyle" of Sin!
How about you today on that path you trod?
Do you "CLAIM" to be a Christian while walking in total disobedience to God?
Many think they will go to Heaven when they die simply because they "BELIEVE"!
Without "TRUE REPENTANCE" faith alone can save no one, so don't be "DECEIVED"!
Many believe foolishness because they don't read and study the holy "WORD OF GOD"!
How "OFTEN" do you read God's word on that path you trod?
Without studying God's word there is no way we can "KNOW" if the life we are living is pleasing to God!
The Dust on our Bible is a clear indicator that shows "just how much" we "LOVE GOD"!

See James 2:18-22
James 2:19
Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
Acts 26:20 I preached first to those in Damascus, then in Jerusalem and throughout all Judea, and also to the Gentiles, that all must repent of their sins and turn to God- and prove they have changed by the good things they do.
