My belief concerning the One God, Creator, Savior, Omniscient, Omnipotent, and Omnipresent
My God is One.
When I heard the call of God to His free salvation, I went forward in a small Florida church to asked Jesus to forgive and save me. Like Andrew with Peter, my brother had brought me to hear Jesus’ words and the Holy Spirit softly, lovingly, rescued me from my pain-filled life of extreme shyness, depression, desperation, and suicidal thoughts. My growth in the Lord since that day in March 1987 has revealed more and more of God and His three persons. I am more and more comfortable in the company of each.
I believe God is One and Three. While I cannot wholly understand how He is that, I accept that it is so because the Bible reveals Him as One and Three persons. My faith is in the One God and His three persons, God the Father, Jesus God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
“In whom we have boldness and access with confidence through faith in Him” (Ephesians 3:12).
I enjoy my prayer time, talking to God the Father in the name of His Son Jesus. I am grateful to Jesus, God the Son, for making it possible for me to come boldly before the throne of grace so that I may be in the presence of God, the Holy, Almighty, perfect, everlasting God. I am thankful for God the Holy Spirit giving me understanding, discernment, new abilities to witness, and for His help in and with my prayers when I can’t speak the thoughts I have, or the needs for which I don’t know how to ask.
I love reading the Bible. I believe it exists because God breathed it to godly men to write down so we could know about God and to know about ourselves, (2 Timothy 3: 16). It is all true, from cover to cover. Every word is God’s word, from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 21:22. In translation to any language, it matters not, because I believe that God retains His perfect word so that men everywhere can read it and learn about Him and His salvation plan for their lives. God protects the inerrant perfection of His word from any mistakes in copying and translation because He desires all men to know the truth and have salvation.
I believe I inherited a sin nature from Adam, my progenitor in mankind. I am a sinner who sins. Sin cannot stand before God. God’s perfection must punish all sin. I believe, apart from the cross of Christ, I have no means of salvation from my sins. I believe I can stand before God only because Jesus died in my place, taking the wrath of God on Himself, purging all sin, even my sin, so I wouldn’t have to die eternally but have eternal life. “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus, our Lord” (Romans 6:23).
I believe that anyone and everyone will have eternal salvation who calls upon the name of the Lord (cf Romans 10:13) and all those who do put their faith in Jesus make up the church, the body of Christ here on earth. “There is one body and one Spirit” (cf Ephesians 4:2). The church is not a building made by man but a body made up of all believers with faith in Jesus, forgiven by God. All peoples the world over saved in Jesus are God’s body, the church.
I believe Jesus bled and died on the cross on Golgotha. He was buried in a sealed tomb for three days and three nights. Jesus then rose bodily from that grave to prove that God accepted the sacrifice of Jesus as the appeasement of God’s wrath against sin. Through His shed blood, Jesus paid the substitution death of all the sin of man, from Adam to the last person to die at Armageddon.
I believe Jesus ascended back to heaven after showing His resurrected body before many people as a witness of His glorious power and their justification. Today Jesus sits at the right hand of God the Father, in His glory, and someday will return and rapture His church from this earth.
