Gospel Reflections #598: God is Helping Us to Believe

John 1:3 “All things came to be by the word. And nothing came into being that was not made by the Word.

If Christ made all things, then He existed before all things, and the words He spoke on this subject are so definitive that no one need question them.

Christ was with God from eternity past, He is God above all things, and He is the One who is blessed forever.

The Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was one with the Father, though He was a distinct Person.

The fact that Christ made everything means that He is in control of everything He made and is responsible for it to the end, and that He will do it through His word, as long as we are not separated from Him.

Furthermore, to those of us who can only imperfectly believe in Christ's words, He has sent us the Holy Spirit as our nurturer and has given us friends in the faith with whom we can grow together.

He has provided everything we need to believe in and follow Christ.

We just need to receive it.

There are many things about God that we don't understand, but it is impossible for our limited minds to comprehend everything about a God who has no limits.

But God leaves us words and reminders that are easy for us to understand.

He teaches us to believe and leads us to choose to believe.

God is not something we accept with our knowledge, but with the exercise of our faith.

God works in mysterious ways to bring joy, gratitude, hope, and peace to those who accept Him. And that reflects God's glory, even if we don't see circumstances improve or miracles. In other words, God is at work in us!

There is nothing that God has worked on that has not been completed.
