He that believeth

All things are possible

Mark 9:23  Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.

Is not condemned

John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Hath everlasting life

John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

John 6:47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.

Shall never hunger and shall 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 on me shall never thirst.

Shall live

John 11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

Believes not only on Him, Jesus Christ, but on the Father which sent Him

John 12:44  Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.

Hath no part with unrighteousness

2 Corinthians 6:15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

Shall not be confounded

1 Peter 2:6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.

Overcomes the world

1 John 5:5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

….and now comes the hard part. The other stuff most will say, Amen to pretty readily. However, we really should look at all of Scripture to see what the promises are to those who believe.

Out of his belly shall flow RIVERS of living water

John 7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

Shall do greater works….

John 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

You see, we need to ask ourselves the question, if God has given all grace unto us, if He has given us all things that pertain to life and godliness, if His desire is to redeem a people, a holy people, a bride for His Son; is this being manifest, or made plain, in our lives? If not, let us ask the question why and be honest about it before God, in repentance and turning in faith to believe the promises that He has for us and abide in Jesus Christ wherein, and only in Him, will fruit abound.

Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

John 15:1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
