I believe...

I've been working through my faith a lot lately, working on Grad school entrance papers and licensing papers. All of which have had me articulate my faith, what I believe. So this is it. This is what I believe.

I believe in one beautiful, merciful and majestic God who created the world through the power of His spoken word. I believe in the God who created mankind out of love and grace to take care of the earth and to be in relationship with God himself.
I believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who is God; that came into this world as a true human being to redeem the human race of sin and death. I believe in Jesus Christ who taught us to love all people no matter ethnicity, religion, gender, or status and to live a life that is pleasing to God Himself. Jesus Christ who walked day in and day out with twelve Disciples teaching, love and enjoying life with them and sharing with the, joys and pains of true community. Jesus Christ who willingly carried his own cross to be crucified as the ultimate Sin Sacrifice for all mankind. Jesus Christ who after being sacrificed rose again on the third day becoming our High Priest for all who chose to believe.
I believe in the Holy Spirit who is one in the same as God and Christ, who lives and dwells in us, leading and guiding. The Holy Spirit that came down in tongues of fire to help and guide in the growth and continuation of the Church.
I believe in one unified Church that has been sent to tell all about the beauty and majesty of our Lord, the redemption of Christ and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. I believe that we are a united priesthood of believers called to love and to teach love, to serve and to teach service and to worship united as one the One Lord of Lords and King of Kings.
