John 8:30

Even as Jesus speaks these words, many of the people believe in Him. John 8:30 EFP 

Wow! On the midst of the verbal confrontation between Jesus and the Jewish authorities, there are people listening and, as a result, coming to a point of belief. We do not know who they are. We can surmise these are not the men chiding Jesus and trying desperately to discredit him. But some among the silent observers believe.

I don’t know exactly what that means, but something clicked inside. What did they do as a result? What changed? Do they live the rest of their lives for Christ? Is this simply a spark? A flicker? I don’t know, but I do know that John places a lot of weight on the moment of belief. Without believing there is nothing. But through believing there is salvation. Read John 20:31. Does salvation come at the moment you believe? Does salvation come when that belief translates into action? Does it come after I believe, and withdraw when my faith falters? I sense there are answers to come.
