Why do you believe in God?

   If someone asked you why you believed in God, what would you say? Would you be able to answer?

   My preacher talked about what would you say if someone asked you that and are you really saved. A lot of us just know we believe in God. Either because we were just brought up that way or believed because of studying His word. Something to think about though is what if a non-christian asked you why? We should know what to say without thinking about it. As soon as the preacher asked us what would we say, I though oh that's easy. I sat there for a couple minutes and I know why but it's hard to put it into words. I finally did and this is why I believe in God:

  God loves us unconditionally no matter what we do. He doesn't like our sin but He loves us anyways. If God didn't love us do you think He would have sent His son to die for us so that we could have a relationship with Him? He wants us to love Him. He gives us the option so that He knows that we love Him back!! God never turns His back on you. If you are hurting guess what, He is right there with you! God hurts when you hurt!

   The other topic it was are you sure you are saved? We say we believe in God but do we act it? For anyone saying they are a Christian you want to automatically say yes. If you look at what it means you might actually not be. I know this is a hard topic. It's even hard for me. Do we pray, read the Bible, minister others about Jesus, and go to Church? It's so easy to just pick and choose what parts of being a Christian we want to do. We might not do that all the time but eventually we all do it. We might say, Oh I read my bible but don't feel like I have to pray. I used to think that if I believed in God and read my bible and prayed that it's ok if I don't go to Church. In reality we need to do all of them. I know this now! God wants us to have fellowship with others! I think the Church is made up of the people not the building! We make up the Church.

   The hardest thing for me to do is minister to others about Jesus! I know I do it through posting things on facebook but it's hard for me to just go up to people and talk to them about Jesus. I know if God wanted me to go door to door He would give me the courage to. So maybe this is what God wants me to do for now. Write blogs and post things on facebook! We will see!

God Bless!!!
