TWO DISTINCTION – TO BELIEVE [BELIEVING] IN HIM AND TO BELIEVE [BELIEVING] ON HIM: THE CONTEXT ON HOW YOU CAN BECOME – IN HIM AND ON HIM – IF YOU BELIEVE!\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“. . . Jesus said unto him, IF THOU CANST BELIEVE, all things are possible to him that BELIEVETH. 24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I BELIEVE; help thou mine UNBELIEF . . .”<\/i>\u00a0Mark 9:23-24.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One great\u00a0aspect\u00a0of God’s LOVINGKINDNESS and BLESSEDNESS\u00a0is that\u00a0there’s graciousness\u00a0for everyone\u00a0seeking\u00a0Him\u00a0in Christ Jesus stead.\u00a0Whether you are\u00a0pursuing\u00a0BELIEVING IN HIM or and BELIEVING ON HIM, you can BECOME in Him.\u00a0It’s\u00a0just for you to know that you\u00a0have to\u00a0BELIEVE to RECEIVE\u00a0in order to\u00a0BECOME in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u00a0are\u00a0two\u00a0distinct\u00a0aspects\u00a0of\u00a0BELIEVING\u00a0to\u00a0RECEIVE\u00a0from\u00a0God\u00a0and\u00a0BECOME what you believe.\u00a0BELIEVING ON Him and BELIEVING IN Him\u00a0are different,\u00a0yet\u00a0both are important in God\u2019s REDEMPTION REALITIES.\u00a0BELIEVING ON Christ Jesus (ON HIS NAME)\u00a0and BELIEVING IN Christ Jesus (IN HIS NAME) toward\u00a0the father show God\u2019s graciousness in Christ Jesus. Both are vital for understanding His BLESSEDNESS. Amen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. THE BELIEVE\/BELIEVING ON Christ Jesus [ON HIS NAME]<\/b>\u00a0
    <\/span>\n

    For one to BELIEVE ON Christ Jesus [ON HIS NAME] toward God, is for one to BELIEVE on His WILL to SAVE one as SINNER from the clutches and bondages of sin and sinful living, in order to access and obtain the good and goodness of God, for one’s own SALVATION in HIM.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    “But as many as RECEIVED Him, to them gave\u00a0He\u00a0power to BECOME the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE ON His name: 13 which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God”\u00a0<\/i>John 1:12-13.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    “He that BELIEVETH ON Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not BELIEVED IN the name of the only begotten Son of God”<\/i>\u00a0John 3:18.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    “. . . 25 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED? 31 And they said, BELIEVE ON the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be SAVED, and thy house. 32 And they\u00a0spake\u00a0unto him THE WORD of the Lord, and to all that were in his house . . .”<\/i>\u00a0Acts 16:30-34.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    “I\u00a0am come\u00a0a light into the world, that whosoever BELIEVETH ON me should not abide in darkness”<\/i>\u00a0<\/i><\/b>John 12:46.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    “And this is his commandment,\u00a0That\u00a0we should BELIEVE ON the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as He gave us commandment”<\/i>\u00a01 John 3:23.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    THE<\/strong> BELIEVE\/BELIEVING IN CHRIST JESUS [IN HIS NAME]:<\/b>
    <\/b>For one to BELIEVE IN Christ Jesus [IN HIS NAME], means to BELIEVE in His ability – the ENABLING POWER in the SERVICE of God, toward the Kingdom\u2019s advance and to keep the enemy at bay. This is about a BELIEVER in Christ Jesus receiving the POWER [CAPACITY, ABILITY, ENABLING] of God for God’s Kingdom services – a sphere wherein the BELIEVING ONE in Christ Jesus exercises [enacts and authenticates] the enabling grace, ensuring and assuring God\u2019s help. This is to receive what it takes to fulfil God’s plan, purpose and pursuit, in life and godliness in the blessedness of Christ Jesus. So, BELIEVING IN or to BELIEVE IN Christ Jesus is about receiving the enabling power as a BELIEVER, to BECOME in God with the needed assurance to ensure His purposeful will for you.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    “Now\u00a0when\u00a0He was in Jerusalem at the\u00a0Passover,\u00a0in\u00a0the feast day, many BELIEVED IN His name,\u00a0when\u00a0they saw the miracles which He did”<\/i>\u00a0John 2:23.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    “But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which BELIEVE IN me, it\u00a0were\u00a0better for him that a millstone\u00a0were\u00a0hanged about his neck, and that he\u00a0were\u00a0drowned in the depth of the sea”<\/i>\u00a0Matthew 18:6 [Mark 9:42].<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    “Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection\u00a0at\u00a0the last day. 25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that BELIEVETH IN me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: 26 and whosoever\u00a0liveth\u00a0and BELIEVETH IN me shall never die. BELIEVEST thou this? 27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I BELIEVE that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.”<\/i>\u00a0Mark 11:24-26.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    “Let not your heart be troubled: ye BELIEVE IN God, BELIEVE also IN me. . ..\u00a09 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip?\u00a0he\u00a0that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? 10 BELIEVEST thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, He doeth the works. 11 BELIEVE me that I am in the\u00a0Father, and the\u00a0Father\u00a0in me: or else BELIEVE me for the very works\u2019 sake”<\/i>\u00a0John 14:1, 9-11.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    “This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have BELIEVED IN God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men”<\/i>\u00a0Titus 3:8.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Whichever\u00a0distinction you fall into, either as a SINNER needing salvation and a backslider needing restoration or a BELIEVER needing the help of God to live and\u00a0accomplish\u00a0His purpose in your life, BELIEVING is the access to RECEIVE\u00a0in order to\u00a0BECOME. Hence, you don\u2019t give up or go wearisome or give in to the fear of acceptance in starting or completing your life-given and intended plans, purposes and pursuits, for just to BELIEVE, you can seal the once\u00a0-for-all,\u00a0eternity, your BECOMING in GOD, in Christ JESUS. Amen.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    I want you to know full well, that your FAITH can go killing giants even\u00a0when\u00a0all things come to a halt, as you keep acting on the WORD to RECEIVE, by the BELIEVE\/BELIEVING to BECOME.\u00a0Meaning, nothing\u00a0can stop you from BECOMING\u00a0when\u00a0you keep your BELIEVING-FAITH alive in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Jesus said, \u201c. . . According to your FAITH be it unto you\u201d\u00a0Matthew 9:29,<\/b>\u00a0that is to – BECOME WHAT YOU BELIEVE. Hello Friend! you can BECOME what you BELIEVE in context – ON Him or IN Him today.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    May you BECOME in your BELIEVE as you RECEIVE God’s BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \u201cAnd\u00a0when\u00a0Jesus\u00a0departed\u00a0thence, TWO BLIND MEN FOLLOWED HIM, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us. 28 And\u00a0when\u00a0he\u00a0was come\u00a0into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, BELIEVE Ye That I Am Able\u00a0To\u00a0Do This? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. 29 Then\u00a0touched he\u00a0their eyes, saying, ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH BE (BECOME) IT UNTO YOU. 30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying,\u00a0See\u00a0that no man know it\u201d<\/i>\u00a0Matthew 9:27-30\/Emphasis Mine.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \u201cJesus said to him, \u201c[You say to Me,] \u2018If You can?\u2019 ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE for the one who BELIEVES and trusts [in Me]!\u201d<\/i>\u00a0Mark 9:23\/AMP.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \u201cBut Jesus looked at them and said, \u201cWith people [as far as it DEPENDS on them] it is impossible, BUT WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE\u201d<\/i>\u00a0Matthew 19:26 [Mark 10:27]\/AMP.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    “. . . Jesus said unto him, IF THOU CANST BELIEVE, all things are possible to him that BELIEVETH. 24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I BELIEVE; help thou mine unbelief . . .”<\/i>\u00a0Mark 9:23-24.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    “And BLESSED is she that BELIEVED: for there shall be a PERFORMANCE of those things which were told her from the Lord”<\/i>\u00a0Luke 1:45.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    “But without FAITH it is impossible to PLEASE him: for he that cometh to God must BELIEVE that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY seek him”<\/i>\u00a0Hebrews 11:6.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    “Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip?\u00a0he\u00a0that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? 10 BELIEVEST thou not that I am in the\u00a0Father, and the\u00a0Father\u00a0in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the\u00a0Father\u00a0that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. 11 BELIEVE me that I am in the\u00a0Father, and the\u00a0Father\u00a0in me: or else BELIEVE me for the very\u00a0works\u2019\u00a0sake. 12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that BELIEVETH on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. 13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son”<\/i>\u00a0John 14:9-13.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    “But to as many as did RECEIVE and WELCOME Him, He GAVE the right [the authority, the privilege] to BECOME children of God, that is, to those who BELIEVE in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name\u2014 13 who were born, not of blood [natural conception], nor of the will of the flesh [physical impulse], nor of the will of man [that of a natural father], but of God [that is, a divine and supernatural birth\u2014they are born of God\u2014spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified]”<\/i>\u00a0John 1:12-13\/AMP.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

[They are born of God!]<\/i>”\u00a0John 1:12-13\/AMP Classic Edition.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    “For God so LOVED the world, that he GAVE his only begotten Son, that whosoever BELIEVETH in him should NOT PERISH, but have EVERLASTING LIFE. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to CONDEMN the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that BELIEVETH on him is NOT CONDEMNED: but he that BELIEVETH NOT is CONDEMNED ALREADY, because he hath not BELIEVED in the name of the only begotten Son of God”<\/i>\u00a0John 3:16-18.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    “And the scripture was FULFILLED which saith, Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was imputed unto him for RIGHTEOUSNESS: and he was called the FRIEND of God”<\/i>\u00a0<\/i><\/b>James 2:23.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    “Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was ACCOUNTED to him for RIGHTEOUSNESS. 7\u00a0Know\u00a0ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same ARE the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would JUSTIFY the heathen through faith, PREACHED before the GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying,\u00a0In\u00a0thee\u00a0shall all nations be BLESSED. 9 So then they which BE OF FAITH ARE BLESSED with FAITHFUL Abraham . . . 13 Christ hath REDEEMED us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that\u00a0hangeth\u00a0on a tree: 14 that the BLESSING of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the PROMISE of the Spirit through faith . . . 26 For ye ARE all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye ARE all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ\u2019s, then ARE ye Abraham\u2019s seed, and heirs according to the PROMISE”<\/i>\u00a0Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    “And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall BELIEVE that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24 Therefore I say unto you,\u00a0What\u00a0things soever ye desire,\u00a0when\u00a0ye pray, BELIEVE that ye receive them, and ye shall have them”<\/i>\u00a0Mark 11:22-24.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    “But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we PREACH; 9 that if thou shalt CONFESS with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in thine HEART that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the HEART man BELIEVETH unto righteousness; and with the MOUTH CONFESSION is made unto salvation”<\/i>\u00a0Romans 10:8-10.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    “For what saith the scripture? Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was COUNTED unto him for RIGHTEOUSNESS . . . 6 Even as David also\u00a0describeth\u00a0the BLESSEDNESS of the man, unto whom God\u00a0imputeth\u00a0RIGHTEOUSNESS without works, 7 saying, BLESSED are they whose iniquities are FORGIVEN, and whose sins are COVERED. 8 BLESSED is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. 9. Cometh\u00a0this BLESSEDNESS then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that FAITH was RECKONED to Abraham for RIGHTEOUSNESS”<\/i>\u00a0Romans 4:3, 6-9.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
