I remember as a boy sitting in church as the choir sang a song called “Only Believe.” “ It went…Only believe, only believe. All things are possible, only believe.
Looking back it didn’t say only behave, or only live perfect, or only never fail. It said only believe. Now I understand. Of course we strive to live holy in righteousness, but the Bible says that our righteousness is as filthy rags. And what are filthy rags worth? Nothing. It’s the righteousness of God in Christ that saves us and makes us whole in freedom. Only believe, only believe. All things are possible. Only believe.
The Apostle Paul wrote in the Bible, “If the law could give us new life, we could be made right with God by obeying it. But the Scriptures declare that we are all prisoners of sin, so we receive God’s promise of freedom only by believing in Jesus Christ. (Galatians 3:21-22)
Listen and enjoy.
