What I believe

I am a Christian. I believe that the Bible is true from cover to cover. This means I believe that Genesis is true, and the that God created a perfect world in 6 literal 24-hour days, but Satan, in the form of a serpent, deceived Adam and Eve into breaking the one rule God set down for them and that, as a result, all of the descendants of Adam and Eve (also known as all of humankind) are sinners and our world is no longer perfect.

This also means that I believe that the Gospel is true and that God, since He loves us, but is righteous and cannot allow sinners into His perfect heaven, sent His Son to earth to be sin for us. I believe that this Son is Jesus, and that he preached for three and a half years, but then was betrayed by one of his close friends and died the most horrid death imaginable on the cross. I believe that he then spent 3 days in the grave, then rose miraculously from the dead, and appeared to over 700 eyewitnesses before he ascended into heaven and now sits on the right hand of God so that he can intercede for those who believe in him and accept his death and repent of their sins.

This also means I believe Revelation is true, and that Jesus is coming back to take all of those who believe in him to heaven (and I believe that it will happen soon) and then the world will go through a horrid 7 year tribulation and millions will be deceived by a false Christ, the Antichrist. But I also believe that all who believe in Jesus and accept his Salvation will be spared this time of tribulation.

I believe that it's not hard to accept Jesus. All one has to do is pray, repent of their sins, and believe that he can save them.

I don't believe this just because this is what parents believe (though they do), or because this is what I was taught in Sunday School (although I was). I believe this because I have dug into the Word and spent hours in study. I believe this because I have seen the effect that God can have on a person. I believe this because I have personally felt God's hand in my life.
