If Only We Believe

2 Chronicles 7:14 " If my people ,which are called by my name, shall humble themselves,and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will heal their land".

If only the whole world was saved? What if everybody truly believed in their heart the Lord Jesus, and confessed with their mouth that God raised him from the dead. What If we truly loved the Lord thy God with all our heart soul and might, and loved our neighbor as our self. What if there truly was no difference between the Jew and the Gentile; the Baptist and the COGIC, what if the Catholic and the protestant truly overcame their differences and walked as one.What if we truly believed " One Lord, One Faith and One Baptism". What if we truly loved one another as Christ has loved us, the world could be saved.What if we really did these things from our hearts, God says he would hear from heaven, forgive our sins and heal the land.

 

Here we have a very popularly quoted scripture. The thing is, it only seems to be lip service to many who are called by his name.  God says "If my people" would do what I have asked of them, then I will  forgive their sins and heal their land. Well the land isn't healed, and God can't lie, we must not be doing our part consistently. Jesus also said if he was lifted up, all men would be drawn unto Him, yet their are still a many wondering in darkness, since Jesus is the truth of God word, then it must mean He is not being lifted up in the lives of God's people. Now even though many might be doing there best with their all, there is still more to be done, so what if? What if we could truly be honest with ourselves and say we could do more, we could love more, we could care more, we could forgive, and give more. What if we realized we are not half the saint we claim to be, and closer to being the sinner we try to denounce, then maybe we would seek to get closer to the Lord of glory.

What if we were one body with one purpose, walking in a spirit of oneness and proclaiming one message, Christ and Him Crucified, In one love, the world would then see the one savior and all could be saved. If only we believe.....
