Most of my life I have believed that there is a God and except for ten-year period starting in my forties, I prayed to Him, thanking Him for His blessings. It was not until 2004 though that I gave much thought to Jesus. In February 2004 I had a spiritual shock after starting to read the book “Heaven Is So Real” when I knew that I had to change my life and live for Jesus.
I believe that Jesus is the Son of God, that He died for our sins, and that He is our Lord and Savior. I have confessed my sins, and continue to do so as they come to mind. I ask for forgiveness for each sin. I believe that God does indeed forgive sins when honestly confessed and when we do not deliberately repeat them.
I believe that the Bible is the Word of God and the supreme guide for living and eternal life.
Jesus taught that the only way to our Father in Heaven is through Him, Jesus Christ. Therefore He taught that every Christian should take His Word to others that do not know the Lord so that they can be saved. I am dedicated to doing this but not by myself; I ask for the help of the Holy Spirit in all of these efforts. I want to do everything that I can for Him so that when I face Him one day I will have less to be ashamed of.
I know that everything that I am, possess or have achieved is due to God, and that I would be nothing without the help He has given me throughout my life. I know that I had nothing when I was born and will take nothing with me when I die. Therefore I must share freely with others while I can. This includes sharing of money, time, skills, and whatever others need as best I can.
