Doctrine

What are you doing? What is your life? Who or what are you living for?

The purpose of this blog is twofold: to glorify the Living God of the Bible, and to point others to him through the thoughts and musings of my broken life made whole by him.


You see, in the beginning, God created everything (Genesis 1:1). He made man, and was in perfect relationship with him until man disobeyed. Man was separated from his loving, perfect Creator because of his wrongdoing, or sin. The only way back? Someone had take the punishment for man. But who? 


Answer: God himself.


Out of his great love, God became a man and died on a cross to bear our sin. Three days later, he defeated death and resurrected himself. (1 Corinthians 15:1-3). According to the Scriptures, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved--from eternal punishment, the consequences of your sin (Romans 10:9, 3:23, 6:23). You no longer have to be separated from God, for he saved us while we were still sinners and loved us so much that he cared about fixing what we broke in order to unite us back with him (Romans 5:8). Agree with God that he is right about you, seek forgiveness, turn from your sin, and receive this gift, who is Jesus Christ. Walk in the truth that you are now free from living in the dark. He lives in you! He has redeemed our humanity! You are his child! (John 1:12).


Deus pro nobis: God for us. Seek him and ye shall live.
