I Believe
I believe that in the beginning, God was there. I believe that God created his angels to serve Him unconditionally in heaven. I believe that one of the angels rebelled against the perfect will of God and was thrown out of heaven with many of his followers. I believe that God created the heavens and the earth. I believe that God created man in His own image. Man being different from the angels, was given his own will to choose which things he might do, and I believe that God loved man very much.
I believe that God communed with man in the garden of Eden until man chose to sin and was put out of the garden. I believe that God wanted to continue His communion with man by allowing sacrifice as a way of purification from sin. I believe that man continued to sin, and that common sacrifice was not enough to cleanse the sins of man and make us worthy of communion with God.
I believe “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16
And I believe that Jesus was a perfect man, lived a sinless life, and was crucified on the cross at Calvary. I believe that when Christ died on the cross and rose on the third day, he made a way of sweet communion with God for each of us. I believe that when you accept Jesus as the perfect sacrifice for your sins, you are washed as white as snow and you can then enter the presence of God without fear and trembling. Sin cannot enter into God’s presence.
I believe it is the duty and responsibility of all who believe in Jesus Christ to spread the Gospel, which is the Good news that if we believe in Jesus Christ we will be saved. (Mark 16:15-16) I believe that we should “…love the LORD thy God with all thine, heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.” Deut. 6:5
I believe that Jesus will return to earth one day soon and take his believers home to Heaven to be with God. (John 14:1-4) I believe that if I die before Jesus comes back, I will go to Heaven and live for ever more in God’s presence and I believe that I will spend eternity praising God.
I believe that it is good to believe in God.
