If we went around the world. asking people what they needed to do to go to heaven we would get all kinds of answers. “You need to good works, go to church, be baptised, wash in this or that river, always be on guard, give, etc, etc.
After the blind man was healed he and Jesus discussed what it meant to know the Son of God. The healed man asked Jesus who the Son of Man, or the Messiah was. When Jesus told him that the He was the one He told him that all he had to do was believe. “Do you believe?” Jesus asked. “Not do you commit to do certain works, will you be baptised, will you do this or that?” but simply, “Do you believe?”
The man answered, “Lord I believe,” and he worshipped Him. That’s all it took simple faith. The faith was indeed followed by worship which proved his belief was true, but all it took was faith.
Praise God for the “Lord I believe” kind of faith.
