What do YOU believe?

In a society that tells us "There is no absolutes, we each have our own idea of absolute", do you know what you believe and why you believe it? And, do you believe what you believe is really true. Below are 12 things I specifically believe to be true about life and God. I may not have posted everything but I will have posted the main things. If you don't know what you believe, please start to seriously search the scriptures and find out for yourself. Don't take my word for it or anyone else word- take the Bible and discover what is true. Know what you believe and why you believe it. One day you may be asked "So what do you really believe to be true anyway?" Be ready to "Always give any answer for the hope which lies within you".

I believe:

1 God is the Creator of the universe- nothing just happened.

2. There is ONE God who is in the form of three; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

3. Salvation comes ONLY by faith in Jesus Christ and is not a result of any action or action apart from having faith in Christ.

4. Marriage should be only between one man and one woman. The Bible clearly speaks against homosexuality as being wrong and biblically was punished by death.

5. God is the one who gives life and takes life. It is not up to us to decide who dies and who lives except in cases of murder (in the biblical context of capital judgment).

6. God commands that we abstain from relationships that would be inappropriate outside of marriage.

7. We are fearfully and wonderfully made.

8. God loves everyone but not everyone he loves will live eternally in heaven, only those who believe on his name.

9. Heaven and Hell are actual places. Upon death, the Christian will go to heaven and the unsaved will be cast into hell.

10. With his righteous judgment, Jesus Christ will come back to earth and judge the world.

11. Satan is real and walks about seeking who he may devour.

12. The church was founded upon Jesus Christ and includes all those who have trusted Christ as their personal Savior.

Also, the Bible is the inspired, innerat Word of God.
