I believe that there is a purpose that we are alive. Why create something with no
purpose?. I do believe that there is a God, who lives today. I believe that there is a
heaven and he sent his son Jesus Christ to die on the cross, to pay for our sins. At this
moment Jesus is sitting at the right hand of God, waiting for the time to call his children
home.
As a Christian I seek the truth. My studies require me to question everything, that
I do. In my searching I have found that there is a Great God. I have not seen him, but I
know he exists because I have prayed and have witnessed the many miracles and
blessings he has done for me and my family. I have felt his presence and my prayers
answered. Having faith helps me get through lifes struggles, when life gets difficult, it
helps me turn to an Almighty God that can work miracles.
We grow up believing in certain things that our parent teach us as well as our
teachers, mentors and pastors. For example I grew up believing in Christianity. I was
raised in a Christian home. It was something that I was always around. It was my choice
to follow and believe in God. I find the answer from the bible. I also know that there are
many other religions, but how do we know which is the right path to take or what to
believe in. We'll that's where my faith steps in. That is why God gave everyone free will
to do and believe in whatever they want.
God created the world and all that is in it for his own glory. Out of nothing God
created the heavens and the earth. Most people are aware that the bible begins with the
story of God's creation. The creation of all these things demonstrates his glory, his love,

grace,wisdom, power and goodness. Many layers exist of good and evil. But, in today's
generation the world is getting awful. In the bible in the book of Revelation it talks about
The end of times I believe we are seeing all the signs.
Christianity teaches that human beings were created good by a loving God. God
created us in a divine image. But because of this sin, human beings are separated from
God. We live in a messed up world, and humans beings are messed up because the
first man Adam sinned, and so sin entered the world. Adams sin brought death, so
death spread to everyone. Without recognizing that we receive that sin status and
trusting that God made way through Jesus Christ to change our lives through
forgiveness. We can be saved by accepting God as our Savior. Also going by his
teachings, which comes from the bible and is everlasting word.
I believe that morality is relative to individuals or cultures. Most people go by
what their cultures believe in. I'm a Christian, so there is a thing such as right or wrong
according to the bible. As a Christian there is laws to follow like; obeying the ten
commandments, this pretty much explains the wrongdoings of a Christian. Of course we
are all not Saints and can not live the ten commandments perfectly, that is why he gave
us forgiveness. God also gave us a choice if we want to follow him or not.
My presence here on earth is not by chance. I have a purpose, a divine mission,
to fulfill the special plan God has in store for me. There is more to living and dying. Each
person is made in God's image, he does not want us to destroy but to repent. We can
never have a relationship with God if we dont repent; for he is holy and we are sinful.
We can only get to heaven if we know Jesus as our personal Savior.

God made me to know, love and serve him in this world. The better I knew God,
the significant my love for him grew. How could I not love someone who loves me so
much as God does, nothing can separate me from God. The more I love God, the
greater is my desire to serve him, and to do what he has called me to do.
Our spirits are divine and they are eternal they existed long before we were even
born, and they will continue on forever after we die. I believe after we die our spirit
leaves the body, it goes to the spirit world and awaits for the resurrection. At that time,
the spirits of all humankind will be joined eternally with our perfect bodies, and we will
be judged by the Savior Jesus Christ and this will determine our eternal destination after
this life. Ive been taught that there is a heaven or a hell afterlife.
Jesus is so important because he was chosen to be our savior, he gives us
peace and strength in the times were in our tough trails. Jesus also saves us from our
sins, he died to receive our punishment. His teachings lights up our path, shows us the
way back to our heavenly father. Jesus came to earth to teach us how to live, and to
pay the penalty for the evil deeds of every person.
Through his resurrection we will live again and when God comes back, we will
live in eternity. In faith we affirm that Jesus brought the love and life of God to everyone.
Jesus Christ made the only way to heaven for you, because you can not do it by
yourself. One amazing truth about Jesus is that he is both human and God, both true
man and true God.
I believe that Christians are saved by the grace of God through Jesus Christ, for
those who believe in the death of Jesus and who saved us from our sins. God has given
us eternal life, and peace through all the situations we go through. Faith and hope has

given me this impression because God accepts us how we are, and saves us from the
evil/worldly things.
