SearchBelieve As Jesus Believed
Jesus does not require his disciples to believe in him but rather to believe with him, believe in the
reality of the love of God and in full confidence accept the security of the assurance of sonship
with the heavenly Father. The Master desires that all his followers should fully share his
transcendent faith. Jesus most touchingly challenged his followers, not only to believe what he
believed, but also to believe as he believed. This is the full significance of his one supreme
requirement, ―Follow me.‖
Jesus‘ earthly life was devoted to one great purpose — doing the Father‘s will, living the human
life religiously and by faith. The faith of Jesus was trusting, like that of a child, but it was wholly
free from presumption. He made robust and manly decisions, courageously faced manifold
disappointments, resolutely surmounted extraordinary difficulties, and unflinchingly confronted
the stern requirements of duty. It required a strong will and an unfailing confidence to believe
what Jesus believed and as he believed.
