That is the cornerstone of our hope and the promise of eternal life. Here is a poem based on that powerful truth.

Whoever Believes
It does not say "the perfect" or "the one without a flaw," The"never-stumbled," or the one who never withdrew. It does not say"the wealthy," or the one with finest speech, It offers hope that stretches just as far as faith can reach.
Whoever believes in the name of Jesus Shall not perish,but have life—a life both full and free, A gift that comes by grace alone,for all the world to see.
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” —John 3:16
Whoever—that means you, and it means me, However lost we feel,however far we flee. It means the soldier,and the child, the one from every land, It means the one who finally yields to His outstretched hand.
To believe in His name is more than knowledge in the mind, It is to trust the Savior that our seeking heart has find. It is to trust His character,His power, and His grace, To find in Him our hiding place.
“Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” —Acts 4:12
So let the chains of doubt now fall away, Embrace the promise of this very day. For this is the oath on which all heaven rests: Whoever believes in the name of Jesusis blessed.
They are a child of God, a new creation, Redeemed from death,and destined for salvation. No power of hell,no shadow of a doubt, Can ever put that promised light out.
“Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.” —John 1:12
So if your heart is hearing this invitation, Lay down your burden,accept this free salvation. The word is sure,the promise is forever true: Whoever believes… that whoever could be you.
Amen.
