God’s greatest pleasure is to be believed

God’s greatest pleasure is to be believed. And this character is shared by His Son, Jesus. When He sent out His disciples to evangelize He instructed them “Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans”. But in John 4:39-40 we read “Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in Him because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.” So when the Samaritans came to Him, they urged Him to stay with them, and He stayed two days”. Jesus did the very thing He asked His disciples not to do-He entered into a Samaritan city. And not only did He enter, he stayed in that city for 2 days. Why? The reason being that “many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him”. Belief, or what we call faith, can cause God to make an exception for you! “without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him”-Hebrews 11:6
