We’ve all seen something similar to this – many times! If we’re lucky, we can remember what we used when we created the account. Other times we have to use the “Forgot …?” assistance.

Isn’t it wonderful that God has also provided such assistance?  Didn’t realize that?  How about:

But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name. (John 20:31 KJV)

Isn’t it nice when the author lays his agenda right out in front of us? We don’t have to wonder what he wants us to know, John made it very clear. He told us much earlier that there’s no password required, either:

And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:14-16 KJV)

To understand the New Testament, it is necessary to read and comprehend the Old Testament. In Numbers 21, those who left Egypt were disheartened, discouraged and complaining. They didn’t like where they were nor what they had to eat:

And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread. (Numbers 21:5 KJV)

The Lord sent fiery serpents who bit people and they died. The survivors understood cause and effect, admitting their sins and asking for help.  The Lord told Moses what to do:

And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live. (Numbers 21:8 KJV)

We don’t have to log into secret areas, protected words, to understand what God has laid out openly for us for generations upon generations.  The Bible is, literally, an open book – except where it has been outlawed in attempt to keep it from opening the eyes of the blinded.

Words are powerful.  More powerful we realize if we believe John:

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. (John 1:1-3 KJV)
