"Believe On The Lord Jesus Christ And You Will Behave"
Great theology often comes from the lips of little children. In a Vacation Bible School, a little boy was made to memorize Acts 16:31 which says: "Believe (trust) on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved..."
Like many little children, he had trouble pronouncing a certain letter. His was the letter "s." When it was his turn to recite the verse, he lisped and faltered on the word "saved." Instead of saying "Believe (trust) on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be SAVED," he said "Believe (trust) on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will BEHAVE."
We may find it funny, but if you think of it, in one sense, what he said was true. Salvation does bring a transformation in one's life.
Tit 3:3 For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another.
4 But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared,
5 not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,
They were once misbehaving (verse 3) but when they were saved, it became a thing of the past. When they got saved, they behaved.
My friend, come to the Lord Jesus Christ. Trust in Him and what He did on the cross for your salvation and you will not only be saved but you will also behave.
