Essay on My Religious Belief

The second part of the Trinity is the Son, or Jesus. Jesus is believed to be the son of God, and that he is God made flesh. Christians believe that he preached a message of concerned salvation, love, and care for the poor and those in need.

"The truth is, God doesn't expect us to clean up our act before we approach him. The death and Resurrection of Jesus is God's statement on that. Jesus spread out his arms and said, "I love you this much. Now, just come as you are," he said.

We believe that there is one, and only one, living and true God. He is an infinite, intelligent Spirit, the Maker and Supreme Ruler of heaven and earth, glorious in holiness, and worthy of all possible worship, trust, and love. In the unity of the Godhead there are three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, equal in every divine perfection, and executing distinct but complimentary offices in the great work of redemption.

Christ is the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, who became man, without ceasing to be God, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, in order that he might reveal God and redeem sinful men into a justified relationship with Christ. (Rom 3:24-25; 1Pet 2:24; Eph 1:7) Christ (the Son) is part of the triune God, eternally existing in three beings the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; co-eternal in being, co-identical in nature, co-equal in power and glory and having the same attributes and perfection. (Deut 6:4; 2 Cor 13:14) Christ was both fully God and fully man. He experienced the limitations of the human body, in order that he may relate, identify, and understand the finiteness of man the sorrows of the sinful nature. “I am in the Father, and he is in me, we are in essence the one in the same,” Jesus said to Philip in 1 Jn14:9-11. “I came to teach you the ways of the Father and I do not speak on my own authority,” said Jesus.

Although God gave free will to humanity, His purpose for us was that we seek and glorify Him. Matthew quotes Jesus in this very point saying, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” (Ryrie Study Bible: Expanded Edition, NIV, Mt. 22:37). Because of the disobedience of Adam and Eve, eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, the concept of sin was brought into the world. Sin created a barrier between God and His human creations that we as Christians are, until the Day of Judgement, constantly trying to surmount in order to be in a closer relationship with Him. God, in His grace and wisdom, provided a way to reconcile our sin through Christ’s death and resurrection. The book of Romans tells us that “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus” (Ryrie Study Bible: Expanded Edition, NIV, Ro. 3:23-24). The sacrifice and resurrection of Christ, and subsequent atonement for our transgressions, created a way by which we as sinners might find our way back to a meaningful relationship with

“Then He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them, but His mother kept all these things in her heart. And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.” (Luke. 2:51-52 New King James Version). Jesus is the Christ, the son of the living God. Throughout history, people have wondered, researched, excavated lands, and philosophized His very essence.

Jesus Christ is the Son of God, born of the Virgin Mary. Jesus lived a humble life, spreading the word of the Lord, and died by crucifixion for the sins of all of humanity. “Jesus is referred to as Savior.

“Orthodox Christians believe in a single God who is both three and one (triune); the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, "one in essence and undivided". The Holy Trinity is three "unconfused" and distinct divine persons (hypostases), who share one divine essence (ousia); uncreated, immaterial and eternal” (Lossky, n.d.).

He is the Son of God and God the

The need for atonement or reconciliation began in the Garden of Eden. Perhaps, God knowing about Adam and Eve’s actions and transgressions of His commandments intentionally loves them and seeks for them. In addition to that, the Biblical narrative suggests that God went out of His way to meet with them, subsequent to their sin. However, (Gen. 3:8.) gives the impression that the Deity and humankind met up regularly and that this was a routinely encounter. This suggests that God had a close relationship with humans, the only creature in which God had put something of Him inside of them. When sin entered the human race, however, the need of a new approach became more acute. The

I believe in the Holy Trinity. While I think the concept is probably impossible to fully understand, I wholly acknowledge that the Godhead is three in one: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. (Matt. 3:16-17, 28:19)

When this question is personalized, it becomes the most important question one will ever be asked or answer. Who is Jesus Christ to YOU? Jesus said, "I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly" (John 10:10, NKJV). In 1 John 5:11-13 we are told that if we have the son in our life we can KNOW that we have eternal life. Jesus is the only way for us to live an abundant life here on earth, or receive eternal life in fellowship with God. Jesus died on the cross to take the punsihment for our sins so that we could be sinless in the eyes of God. If we do not receive the free gift of eternal life by experiencing the forgiveness achieved by Jesus, then we will receive the punishment we

I believe in God the triune; revealed in the Scriptures as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – One God not three separate God’s. “God is God as Father, Son and Holy Spirit – these persons indicate how God is… The person is not an essence…. The person is the identity born of a relationship and exists only in communion with other persons…. In this communion each person has his own personal features, which cannot be transferred.” The term ‘person’, is a woefully inadequate word when describing God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Yet, this provides a way to talk about the unique functions of each. God the triune is focused on one mission -- to bring about the Kingdom of God on earth.

What religion am I? In my life, I have been told many things about my religion. My mother is a Roman Catholic, while my father is Jewish. I have learned about both religions, and I have tried to practice both as best I could, but I am now faced with the decision; which one am I?

Our hearts and minds need to be touched by the Power of God. So many lives are broken, relationships damaged and despair is a guest in so many homes. There are prodigals wandering in the wilderness that God desires to bring home to their rightful place with the Father. Just like the people of Athens we must get to know the God we worship. We need an intimate relationship with our Father through the power of his Holy Spirit dwelling in us and working through us for the extension of God’s Kingdom.
