The Holy Spirit told me last night that “Seeing is Believing” refers to what causes many unbelievers to come to Jesus.
Jesus performed many signs and wonders and drew thousands of people to Him. The followers saw miraculous healing, the dead brought back to life, and the feeding of five thousand with five loaves of bread and two fish.
They came to Jesus because they wanted His power, protection and abundance. They did not come to receive the gift of salvation or to live by the essence of the teachings of Jesus.
They saw and believed that Jesus was sent by God.
The non believer population is motivated by how God will personally help them and they need confirmation of the authenticity of God.
Christianity is not relevant to most unbelievers. They see a religion with many laws and rules and plagued with hypocrisy and impure motives.
Jesus is very approachable. He comes into the heart of those who accept Him by faith and have a desire to seek His will for their life. Jesus favors those who live for Him above all else.
Jesus tells a believer he must seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all the other things will be added to him.
The priority is developing a personal relationship with Jesus built on faith and obedience. The blessings of God will follow to those who walk in oneness with Jesus anchored to the Holy Spirit.
We live by faith and not by what we see with our eyes. Jesus reveals His authenticity to all believers through signs and wonders. He speaks through dreams and visions and gives believers glimpses of the transfigured Christ.
Jesus gives generously to those who live for Him above all else!
