It's Not Enough To Believe

Contributed by W Pittendreigh on Apr 7, 2004

Who were the first witnesses to the resurrection? Not the women or the apostles, but the guards at the door! And yet, it didn’t change their lives at all. How many here believe in the resurrection, but it hasn’t changed your life at all?

In Psalm 51 King David gives us a picture of the "spiritual breathing" believers do every day. We exhale our sorrow and repentance over our sins. We inhale God’s mercy and forgiveness by faith.

You then exhaled what your body doesn’t need—carbon dioxide. What you took in sustains your life. What you breathed out is of no ...read more
