You can quit that high stakes gambling by
believing with all your heart on the Lord Jesus Christ. He is infinitely
worthy of your trust. He has done much to win your faith and love.
Believing on him is not a gamble at all but a sure bet for eternal life. He
that believeth on me shall not come into condemnation but is passed from
death to life.
Here are three reasons why you should not hesitate to believe that he is
the Son of God. First, when Jesus Christ came as a man to this earth he
fulfilled countless Old Testament prophecies. These prophecies specifically
predicted the manner and place of his birth, his entry into Jerusalem, his
betrayal, and his death on the Roman cross, his burial and resurrection as
well as many other things. All these prophecies cannot be explained away by
mere mathematical chance; instead they prove that Jesus Christ is the sent
one of God.
Secondly, among all the men who ever lived, he alone lived a perfect life.
He was perfect goodness moving in the midst of evil. He took upon himself
flesh and blood, even as we have flesh and blood, but he never sinned. His
mind never entertained an evil thought; he never committed an evil act. He
was in all points like we are but without sin. Indeed he was the only man
who never sinned and his holiness should convince us that there was
something extraordinarily special about him.
Thirdly, his resurrection from the dead should
be enough to remove all the doubt in any heart as to his identity. Others
in the Bible died and had their lives restored to them, only to live out
their natural lives and die again.
