. . . believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead . . .Romans 10:9

The Gospel did not come into being because men believed it. The tomb was not emptied of Christ’s body that first Easter because some faithful persons believed it. The fact preceded the faith. We are psychologically incapable of believing without an object of our faith. The object of Christian faith is Christ. Faith means more than an intellectual understanding to the claims of Christ. Faith actually means surrender and commitment to the claims of Christ. We do not know Christ through the five physical senses, but we know Him through the sixth sense that God has given every man—the ability to believe.

Put your faith in Christ today.

As I keep my eyes on You, Lord, my faith does not waver. Too often I look down and stumble. I pray I am focused on you Lord and I keep my eyes looking up. Let me comprehend today, in a new way, the power that raised You from the dead. All praise and glory to you oh Lord, Amen.
