Do you believe on the Son of God?

Has God the Holy Spirit given you faith in Christ? Do you suddenly, unexplainably find yourself trusting Christ, looking to him for salvation? If you do, it is because God has given you his gift of eternal life. — “He that believeth on the Son of God hath everlasting life…Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ hath everlasting life.” You could not and would not believe were you not born of God. You do not need to know when you began to believe, who was preaching when you began to believe, whether you have repented enough to be a believer, or whether you believe enough to be a believer. — “Dost thou believe on the Son of God?”

If you do, if you find yourself trusting Christ, I say to you as Ananias said to Saul of Tarsus, who suddenly found himself believing on the Son of God, “The God of our fathers hath chosen thee…arise, and be baptized.” Do not delay. Obey your Lord and Savior, identify yourself with him and confess him. — “He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved.”
