I believe:

·        In the Bible and its accounts of creation, miracles, and all other narrative accounts.

·        That The Bible is God’s perfect inspired word. It does not need any additions. It is complete.  All the answers we need to know are contained within it.

·        That The Lord has watched over me, guided me, loved me, cared for me, and had plans for me before I was even born.

·        That I am a sinner.

·        That I am incapable of earning a place in heaven through good works, good thoughts,or good behavior.  Nothing I can do on my own can justify my worthiness.

·        That Jesus Christ is God’s son and that His death on the cross was for me, personally.

·        That Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross paid the price for all the devastating guilt and responsibility of my sins.  He died, wa sburied, and rose from the dead.

·        That Jesus is my personal Savior and that He is the guiding force in my life.

·        That I will always be a sinner, but through Christ’s sacrifice I am forgiven.

·        That Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life and no one gets into heaven except through His Grace.

·        That grace is unmerited favor.

·        That I am going to heaven and am assured eternal life because of The Lord’s Grace.

·        That heaven is the next step in God’ plan for me and I am eager to continue on this path, whatever it may be.

·        That my life is not my own.  Everything that happens, both good and bad, is an opportunity to glorify Christ here on earth.

·        That The Lord takes a personal interest in my life and that it is my job to make the most of these opportunities that He sends my way.

·        That my personal talents (teaching, leading, organizing) are directly from Him and should be used for His benefit at all times.

·        That there is never a time when it is not appropriate to speak of, glorify, and acknowledge The Lord and all his goodness.

·        That I still have much to learn, that I fail all the time, and that I continually fall short of what the Lord would have me do.

·        That the Holy Spirit resides in me, works through me, and guides me in all I do.

·        That The Lord makes no distinction between race or gender.  All are His to serve Him as He would have them serve.

·        That The Church here on earth is not a building, but a body of believers joined together with a common belief in Christ’s Message.  The Church’s only job is to spread Christ’s message of Salvation, Love, and Truth.

·        That my greatest personal achievement is to make The Lord smile over something I have done.
