Who He Is

Jesus poses a question in the New Testament. Who do you say that I am? It is a good question and one every person must answer. Since my blog page is entitled Tammy on Faith, I decided it was time I answered that question. So, I will tell you all what it is that I believe.

I believe that God, our Father in Heaven, created this entire beautiful world we live in. I believe He created every creature great and small. I believe that He is a loving, merciful, and just God. He sent His one and only Son, Jesus Christ to this earth to become a man. Jesus Christ was born a virgin birth, in a manger one special Christmas Day. He grew to be a sinless man. He is perfect. He was beaten, spit upon, ridiculed, and became the ultimate sacrifice; all for me. And for you, too. He gave up His life so that you and I could be forgiven of our sins. He rose again on the third day and now reigns with God in Heaven. One day He will return again, and gather up all His people and bring them home.

We have not been left on our own here, though. We have been given the special gift of the Holy Spirit to guide us, and help us live our lives the best we can. We are also given the Bible. The written living word of God. God speaks to us today through the Bible. All of the problems we face today, we can use the Bible to find the answer. I believe that if you search with all of your heart for God you will find Him. It is His desire that every person come to know Him as their personal Savior.

I believe that we have many troubles here on earth today because of two main reasons. We are all born with sinful desires and we cave into those. No one is perfect and can do everything right. I also believe we have a hard time living here because this is not our home. Our home is in Heaven where God anxiously awaits our arrival. I believe that when I die I will be greeted in Heaven by my Heavenly Father. He will take me in His arms and say “Welcome home my child.” I will gaze upon His face and be filled with unspeakable joy. I will worship with the angels and all fellow believers for eternity.

I also believe that those who choose to deny the existence of God and His precious son will spend an eternity in Hell. It is a place of utter darkness and loneliness. There will be no joy there and only great sadness. I long for all human kind to choose to follow God. I do not want to see even my worst enemy suffer an eternity. It is unimaginable. My heart breaks for the lost souls and I pray harder each day that all will come to know God like I know Him.

I believe there is only one way to get to Heaven. By believing that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins and that He rose again. You can never do enough good works to earn your way in. You can't be a good enough person. You cannot buy your way in, cheat, or lie you way in.

Won't you consider today searching out Jesus? Ask God to reveal Himself to you. Read His word. Hear how much He loves you. Trust in Him. Have hope in a life after this one spent with the Magnificent Creator. He is longing to welcome you into His arms. He created you. You are His child. Allow Him to be your Daddy.

This is who I say He is.
