I believe

For those that don't know me, or think they know me:


I believe in God.
I believe Jesus Christ was born of a virgin, 100% man, 100% God.
I believe Jesus Christ died on a cross for the remission of our sin. And I believe it worked.
I believe in the infilling of the Holy Spirit, with the evidence of speaking in tongues.
I believe that you can be saved even if you haven't been filled with the Holy Spirit.
I believe that if somewhere in my walk of serving Christ, I decide to stop serving Christ, that when I die, He will honor my decision, and not force His presence upon me.
I believe in doing so, my salvation, so painfully bought, can be lost.

I believe God has a plan for my life. A good plan.
I believe every sorrow I've been through has had a purpose. Whether to create in me the person He wants me to be in order to fulfill His plan for me, or to remind me that my actions have consequences.
I believe that even when it's my own foolish actions that bring me pain, God will use that for a good purpose as well. Whether I ever have the privilege of seeing the result or not. I believe it.
I believe that I have no right to feel anything but sincere and utter gratitude that one such as He, would draw to Him one such as me.

I believe that the Bible is the very Word of God.
I believe it is 100% true, even if the translation passed to us throughout the generations have not been 100% accurate.
I believe there is a Heaven and that, by His saving grace, I can go there.
I believe there is a Hell, and that by refusing His saving grace, I can go there as well.
I believe there is a Devil, who seeks to destroy this world, and turn every person away from the love of Christ.
I believe that very devil has demons, who walk this earth doing the bidding of their master.
I believe that there are such beings as Angels.
I believe that Angels do daily warfare against the demons of this world.
I believe that Angels have done and daily do miraculous signs and wonders. We just aren't always aware.

I believe that I am saved by Gods grace, not by works.
I believe that as a growing, and passionate Christian, that I am enabled by Christ to do works, and should do them.
I believe in the fruit of the spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, self-control.
I believe that if my life shows none of those fruits, you have reason to doubt my salvation.


And I believe, that if God had not intervened in my life, I would have chosen to end my life. I believe He was gracious to me, patient with me, and that I can trust Him with everything every single thing that is in me. He's changed my life, and given me hope, and a future. He's made my life worth living, worth fighting for, if for no other reason but that every minute I'm alive is one more minute I might be able to do something for Him.

I believe
He can do the same for you.
