“Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves whoever has been born of him. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome.”‭‭1 John‬ ‭5:1-3‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,
This stands out because John says, “Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God”. Believing that Jesus is the actual Son of God creates a desire to obey everything He says. It seems to be a different thing to “believe in” Christ as opposed to “believing” Christ. I can “believe in” Shakespeare, but “believing” him is an entirely different thing. Believing Christ lends to trusting and then to obeying. Please pray that we and our friends believe Christ today. Please pray for the men considering CLC.
