Point Blank

There are some things you can't afford to be unclear about. So here is my creed, as open and obvious as I know how to make it.

I believe in God, one sovereign God who created everything. I believe the Bible is the Word of God, truth given from Him to the hands of men to record. I believe that God is a perfect and a just God, but a loving God as well. I believe His desire is that each and every one of His children be with Him in heaven some day, but we're imperfect. We can't make it there on our own. We are fragile and we fail. But God knows this, of course. That's how He made us, so He sent His son Jesus Christ to pay the debt of all our mistakes once and for all.

Because Jesus was fully God and fully man at the same time, He lived a perfect life and became a spotless sacrificial lamb. But not only did He die for us. He was resurrected on the third day, conquering the grave. That is the God I serve. The almighty creator of the universe who holds my life in His powerful, loving hands.

But Jesus' gift of salvation must be received. You have to realize you need Him, believe in Him and all that He did, and ask Him for His forgiveness. Without that, you can't make it to God's arms when you die. Without that, there's only one place for your soul, and you don't want to go there.



I think I forgot. I forgot how real death is, how important truth is. I forgot that there are people who still need God.

I forgot to pray for you, to cry for you.

"Therefore no one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin. But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood." Romans 3: 20 - 25a
