DUBLEV - that's my license plate. I've had it for years. It is intended to mean "Do you believe?" It's been a neat way to share Christ with people over the years . Although, one time I had someone think it was for Cher's song "Do You Believe In Love?" No, I'm not a Cher worshipper--I'm a Jesus Christ worshipper. When asking someone, 'do you believe in Christ?' I have found that many say they believe in Christ. What I find disconcerting is that although many believe in Christ they choose not to have a relationship with Him or live as though they do.
Christ's sacrifice alone should compel us to live life holy and set apart. What an incredible sacrifice and gift we received and yet we do not live a life that reflects this wonderful gift. It perplexes me how a holy God can go through such great lengths to make a way for us to be restored to a relationship with Him by sacrificing His one and only Son and we still respond very filpantly. It saddens me because I'm just as guilty.
God knew our sinful hearts and bent toward selfish ambition and still chose to go through with His plan of salvation (thank you Lord).
In Deteronomy 6:5 it says, Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. He wants us to love Him with everything in us. He created us to love Him and to worship Him. In Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; When we choose to trust Him and be certain that we are on the right path. Proverbs 3:6 in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
Through Jesus Christ God has given us everything that we need to live out our life here on earth. 2 Peter 1:3 says, His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.
Do you believe? Are you living like you believe?
