When you confess and believe, you will also arise and walk in newness of life.

Unlimited: Confess and Believe

Immediately the girl arose and walked (Mark 5:42, NKJV).

When we get to the end of our tether and almost despair of help, as Jairus did after he was informed that his little daughter was dead, that is when living, desperate faith lays hold and cries, "It shall be done!"

Sickness, and even death, cannot exist in the Presence of Christ. That’s why the girl immediately arose and walked.

The Bible tells us "Only acknowledge your iniquity..." (Jeremiah 3:13, NKJV) and "Only believe..." (Mark 5:36). Here we have two preparatory steps to victory and Heaven. Everyone, regardless of how wicked they have been, is sure to be victorious if they can only confess and believe.

During the Reformation, Luther saw the futility of working in order to find peace. That’s why he preached "Justification by faith."

It was not long, however, until this truth was abused, and some began to cry, "Only believe! Only believe!" For, said they, "If we are justified by faith, and not by works, then why confess? Believe, and it is done." This sounded good, but it soon became a matter of the head rather than of heart faith.

Friend, like the daughter of Jairus, when you confess and believe, you will also arise and walk in newness of life. – E.E. Shelhamer [adapted]

Eli’s Reflection: Why do you think that confessing is such an important part of believing? Is there any aspect of your life that you haven’t yet acknowledged before God? Take the time to do it now.

It’s not the sin question, but the Son question that counts.

Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life (1 John 5:12).

Jesus declares his Cross to be the judgment of this world (John 12:31). The cross divides the world into the saved and the lost and, thereby, prefigures the world’s last day.

The darkness that engulfed the cross prefigured the last great Day of Judgment. The earthquake at the moment of Christ’s death when many dead were raised (Matthew 27:52) prefigured the final call to judgment. And there, on the cross, was the King-Judge high and lifted up.

Christ was crucified between two thieves. He also divided the two thieves – one called on him; one cursed him. We are all thieves. The Bible says, “There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:22-23).

What makes the difference is my attitude towards the Man on the central cross. It’s not the sin question, but the Son question that counts.

We are not saved by our goodness or lost by our badness. We are saved by our relationship to Christ. Are we in Christ or out of Christ? If our standing is “in Christ,” we are saved. If we are out of Christ, we are lost. That’s the meaning of the cross. – Des Ford

Eli’s Reflection: Are you focused more on sin than on the Son? Jesus Christ has dealt with the sin in your life at the Cross. Set aside 15 minutes today as a special time to praise Jesus for what he done at Calvary for you. Claim your standing is “in Christ.”
