The first thing anybody needs to know about me is I am a child of God. I have been saved by the Son, Jesus Christ, and my soul is safe for eternity. God is number one on my list. He is the only reason I am, was, or will be. I want to spread this to as many people as I can.
The Baptist doctrine is closest to my own. However, I don't know how much I believe in Christian denomination. I agree with those that say denominations separate God's people. I find it hard to believe that God intended this. God is love. I believe in love.
I believe that every person should be able to pray, fellowship and worship in whatever way they feel is right. I believe that every person's walk with their God is just that: their walk. I will encourage every person to become a Christian, because I believe it's right.
For God so loved the world, He gave His only begotten Son, for whosoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. - John 3:16
Being a Christian in this time isn't easy. In fact, it's the hardest thing I do on a daily basis. For me, being a Christian has instilled a natural set of morals. A sort of mental checks and balances. This makes life more challenging and meaningful; every thought, and every decision, is a choice of good versus bad. Because I'm a Christian, the devil pulls hard at me. Every minute of every day, I am tempted by Satan. We all are. It's as if I can see his villainous smirk with every temptation. But, there's a problem, and he knows it. He's defeated. His efforts are futile. He hears me pray, and feels the same fear that he inflicts.
Being a Christian makes my life beautiful.
You see, my God has already won the battle. My God and His people are the victors, and God holds the glory.
This blog is not a crusade of Christianity, but you must know that I have every intention of using this experience to grow spiritually. The person I am today is looking to use every life experience as a learning tool for Christianity, and this blog is no different. Some of my posts may suggest differently. I am human. I will always make mistakes. I thank God for my trials, for it's by fire that steel is forged.
I thank God for my life, my salvation, and His grace. For it's by God's grace, I am saved.

Nice post, Brandon.
ReplyDeleteNot many out there in the world - digital or analog, wants to state their convictions, and I dare say: be forthcoming about being a Christian.
I have my beliefs too, and while they are not exactly as yours, they are similar. As long as God is the point, and all the glory goes to Him, and the Bible is what we also use to find answers, we all then have the best at heart.
I'm glad you decided to share this, and have a blog page.
Go man, go!
