The Message

The Message
The Apostle Paul wrote,
“For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.”
1 Corinthians 1:18  
When it comes down to Christianity it very much comes down to what you the individual wants to believe about it.
As Paul said to the believer the message of Christ crucified is the power of God. The Apostles creed pretty well sums up what Christians believe it states,

1. I believe in God the Father, Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth:
2. And in Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son, our Lord:
3. Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary:
4. Suffered under Pontius Pilate; was crucified, dead and buried: He descended into hell:
5. The third day he rose again from the dead:
6. He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty:
7. From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead:
8. I believe in the Holy Ghost:
9. I believe in the holy catholic church: the communion of saints:
    (Meaning the true church not just the Roman Catholic church of today. And the saints which are what the Bible calls all believers in Christ)
10. The forgiveness of sins:
11. The resurrection of the body:
12. And the life everlasting. Amen.
Today there are people creeping into the church that would deny even the deity of Christ.
There are those out there that say there is another revelation of Christ. We must be careful not to follow them.
Jesus is the Son of God, God in the flesh, the bible makes that clear.
The Apostles Creed while not written by the apostles is a true statement of what all true Christians believe.
Christianity is God reaching down to man. Taking a small part of his infiniteness and coming to earth to show man how much he does love him.
C. S. Lewis wrote,
“The Christian does not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves us.”

Think about it.
