I Believe

I Believe
The apostle Peter wrote,
“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light" 1 Peter 2:9.
For me as a Christian I see this advice from the apostle Peter as one of the cornerstones of my faith. Jesus said,
“Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.  
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,  and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20.
It is the job of the Christian of believers in Christ Jesus to tell the world about Him and the saving grace that comes from belief in Christ Jesus.
We are not to force our beliefs or even our morals on others. We are to present the gospel message to anyone who will listen and let them make the decision about Jesus.
   The Apostles Creed while not written by one of Jesus’ apostles sums up what I and other believers in Christ Jesus believe. I present it here for you to consider.

1.I believe in God the Father the almighty maker of heaven and earth
2. I believe in Jesus Christ God's on and only Son, our Lord and Saviour.
3. I believe Jesus was conceived by the Holy Ghost, and born of the Virgin Mary
4. I believe Jesus suffered under Pontius Pilate; That He was Crucified, died, was buried. That he descended in hell.
5. I believe He rose again on the third day from the dead.
6. I believe that he ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father almighty.
7. I believe Jesus will one day Judge the living and the dead.
8. I believe in the Holy Ghost
9. I believe in the Church which is the communion of the saints,
10. I believe in the forgiveness of sin.
11. I believe in the resurrection of the body.
12. I believe in life everlasting. 

Thus the question I would ask you is do you believe this?
Please think about it.
