What I Believe: 2. There is a Savior!

And what a wonderful Savior he is! He is Jesus. He is the Christ, Messiah, chosen of God. He is the one for whom the universe exists and he holds it together. He is and was and always will be. He left his throne in the joy of heaven to live a perfect life, to die a perfectly bloody death, and to give the perfect evidence for all to be absolutely sure. He did all this for his enemies. For those who would try to take his glory for themselves. For me, a sinner, condemned, unclean. Hallelujah! What a Savior!

What I Believe: 1. I'm in Need

My "What I Believe" series will inform readers of what I believe and help me to develop my theology. I will try to do things in order of importance. I also want things to be simple but not simplistic. May we grow in God's grace together.

I believe the most important thing to know is that I am in need. This is displayed in the most important fact: I am a sinner in need of a Savior. As I look at my heart I know there is something wrong. As I look at the world I know there is something more. As I look at the 10 Commandments I see my sin and my guilt before God. The truth is I have broken the 10 Commandments (yes, all of them) and I deserve to be punished. I am in great need. What can I do? The facts show I am guilty. My only hope is a Savior.

We all have this need. If you have questions the first place to go it here. Then leave a comment.
