John 4:39-42

“Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.” So, when the Samaritans came to him, they urged him to stay with them, and he stayed two days. And because of his words many more became believers. They said to the woman, “We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Savior of the world.””

  • At first the Samaritans believed because of what they had heard, but later they believed because of what they had experienced. The people of the city did not just hear about Jesus from the woman, and claim Him; they went to Him, heard for themselves what He had to say, and made a personal decision to believe in Him, and follow Him. Jesus wants your belief to be based on a personal relationship with Him. You can believe because of what someone has told you, but the experience of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ is what changes your life. Your salvation can never be based off someone else’s testimony. Your claim of Christianity is real, your life is changed, and your salvation is secured, when your decision is personal.  It is your choice, your decision, and your future. Jesus desires for you to know Him, not to just know of Him. There is a huge difference in having knowledge, and having a relationship.
  • Have you just heard the story, or are you experiencing the relationship?
  • Have you heard about Jesus, or do you know Him?
  • Are you claiming Christianity because of what you have heard, or because of what you have experienced?
  • Have you made a personal decision to give your life to Jesus?

Isaiah 5:11-12

“Woe to those who rise early in the morning, that they may run after strong drink, who tarry late into the evening as wine inflames them. They have lyre and harp, tambourine and flute and wine at their feasts, but they do not regard the deeds of the Lord, or see the work of his hands.”

Isaiah 1:18-20

“Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool. If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land; but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be eaten by the sword; for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.” 1 John 1:6-7 “If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.” 1 John 1:9 “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

Isaiah 1:5-6

“Why will you still be struck down? Why will you continue to rebel? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. From the sole of the foot even to the head, there is no soundness in it, but bruises and sores and raw wounds; they are not pressed out or bound up or softened with oil.” James 4:10 “Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.”

“Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind.
