Text: Romans 1:16 "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the
power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth [present active
participle]; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek."
“BELIEVETH”
BELIEVING CAN BE STOPPED
Luke 8:13 "They on the rock are they, which, when they hear,
receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe
[present active indicative], and in time of temptation fall away."
BELIEVE CAN NOT BE STOPPED
John 8:30 "As he spake these words, many believed [aorist active]
on him."
BELIEVE, AORIST TENSE
Acts 16:30-31 "And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be
saved? 31. And they said, Believe [aorist active (an event)]
on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved (an event), and
thy house."
BELIEVE AND LOVE ARE ABSTRACT
1 John 3:23 "And this is his [the] commandment [singular],
That we should believe [present active] on the name of his
Son Jesus Christ, and love [present active] one another, as he
gave us commandment."
LOVE IS DEMONSTRATED
1 John 3:18 "My little children, let us not love in word, neither
in tongue; but in deed and in truth."
THE COMMANDMENT
1 John
4:21-5:21 "And this [the] commandment
[singular] have we from him, That he who loveth [present
active participle] God love [present active subjunctive] his brother
also. 5:1 Whosoever believeth [present active participle]
that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth
[present active participle] him (God) that begat
(unto a living hope) loveth him (his brother) also that is
begotten of him (God)."
THE IS LOVE
2 John 1:6 "And this is love, that we walk [present
active] after his commandments. This is the commandment,
That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk [present active]
in it."
LOVE RESPONDS
Ephesians 5:28 "So ought men to love [present active]
their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth [present active
participle] his wife loveth [present active indicative]
himself."
FOR THE ONES BEING SAVED
1 Corinthians 1:18 "For the preaching
of the (daily) cross is to them that perish [present
middle participle] foolishness; but unto us which are saved [present
passive participle] it is the power of God."
THE DAILY CROSS
Luke 9:23 "And he said to them all, If any man will come
after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily,
and follow me."
THE WORK OF GOD
John 6:29 "Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe [present
active] on him whom he hath sent."
THE ONES BELIEVING
Matthew 18:3 "And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted,
and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of
heaven."
Matthew 18:6 "But whoso shall offend (stop believing) one
of these little ones (little children) which believe
[present active participle] in me, it were better for him that a
millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the
depth of the sea."
NEVER THIRST
John 6:35 "And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that
cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth [present
active participle] on me shall never thirst."
BECAUSE YOU CAN QUIT BELIEVING
John 6:40 "And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one
which seeth the Son, and believeth [present active participle] on
him, may have everlasting [agelasting] life: and I will raise him up at the
last day."
THE BELIEVING ESTEEM KINGDOM LIFE
John 6:47 "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth [present
active participle] on me hath [esteems] everlasting [agelasting]
life (in the kingdom age)."
ABBA SPIRIT FOR THE ONE BELIEVING
John 7:38-39 "He that believeth [present active participle]
on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living
water. 39. (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe
[present active participle] on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost [spirit]
was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)"
SHEEP BELIEVE
John 10:26-28 "But ye believe [present active indicative]
not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto
you. 27. My sheep hear [present active] my voice, and I know
[present active] them, and they follow [present active]
me: 28. And I give [present active] unto them eternal [agelasting]
life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out
of my hand."
WRITTEN THAT YE MIGHT BELIEVE
John 20:31 "But these are written, that ye might believe [present
active subjunctive] that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing
[present active] ye might (or might not if you stop believing)
have life (agelasting life) through his name."
THE BELIEVING ARE BEING JUSTIFIED
Acts 13:39 "And by him all that believe [present active
participle] are justified [present passive] from all things,
from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses."
FAITH AND BELIEVE ARE EQUAL
Romans 3:22 "Even the righteousness of God which is by
faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them
that believe [present active participle]: for there is no difference:"
(between faith and believe in the present tense)
AGAIN, FAITH AND BELIEVE THE SAME
Romans 4:5 "But to him that worketh not, but believeth [present
active participle] on him that justifieth [present active
participle] the ungodly, his faith (believing in the present
tense) is counted for righteousness."
FAITH THE SAME AS BELIEVE
Romans 4:11 "And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness
of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be
the father of all them that believe [present active], though they
be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:"
THE BELIEVING ABOUND IN HOPE
Romans 15:13 "Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing
[present active (equivalent to faith)], that ye may abound in hope (by
faith Hebrews 11:1), through the power of the Holy Ghost."
THE PROMISE GIVE TO THOSE WHO BELIEVE
Galatians 3:22 "But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the
promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe
[present active]."
ON THE BEHALF OF CHRIST
Philippians 1:29 "For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only
to believe [present active] on him, but also to suffer [present
active] for his sake;"
THE WORD OF GOD AND THOSE WHO BELIEVE
1 Thessalonians 2:12-13 "That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto
his kingdom and glory. 13. For this cause also thank we God without
ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us,
ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the
word of God, which effectually worketh [present middle]
also in you that believe [present active participle]."
THE END OF OUR BELIEVING
1 Peter 1:8-9 "Whom having not seen, ye love [present active];
in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing [present active
participle], ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: 9. Receiving
the end of your faith (believing in the present tense), even the
salvation (of Romans 1:16) of your souls."
