Your "Job" - Believe on Jesus as You Understand Him More

"37Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 8: 37-39)

Do you believe this?

That is your job, you know:

"33But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." (Matthew 6: 33)

Jesus Christ is our righteousness (1 Corinthians 1: 30)

Then there is this "command":

"29Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent." (John 6: 29)

Yet there is more to this:

"18But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen." (2 Peter 3: 18)

How do you know Jesus? John outlines three stages of understanding:

"12I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake." (1 John 2: 12)

Many Christians only know that Jesus died for their sins. Too large a number assume that He only died for our past sins, and some live as if He has not paid for any of them.

"I write unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one." (1 John 2: 14)

Some believers growing in their understanding of His Victory, and they see Jesus as their conqueror, as the one who has overcome all obstacles, all enemies, all the wiles of the enemy. They know that they are strong because of His Word in their lives. Still the focus is on themselves.

"I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning." (1 John 2: 12)

When we have a total revelation of Jesus, that He is everything, the Author and Finisher of faith (Hebrews 12: 2), that Jesus is throughout and greater than time (yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrew 13: 8), then you are walking in maturity of God's love for you in Christ.

That's your job, Beloved!
