I believe that there is one holy and righteous God. There are many different views of God: some see God as a scary dictator type figure, some see Him as nothing, but I see Him as a loving, caring, forgiving father. These are just a couple of the views but you get the idea. When I think of God, I think of comfort, strength, forgiveness, grace, love, and wrath.
Believing in God, gives me hope. Hope for a better world. Hope for myself to become the person He calls me to be. Hope that keeps me going when I look around and realize how broken this world truly is. Now, am I saying that Christians do nothing but help the world become a better place? Absolutely not. There are many people who claim to be Christians but interpret the Bible in the way that they want it to be and lead people astray. A main reason I believe God is real is because He is all knowing. God foretells of these people in the bible when he says there will be false prophets rise up and try to draw you away from what we know is true. He even says that these false prophets will say wonderful things that will make you want to believe them.
Believing in God lets me know I have a greater plan for my life. God has a perfect plan for everyone’s life, you just have to realize what it is and decide if you’re going to run with it or run from it. God calls the ones who are broken to build up churches and preach his word, not the perfect ones. God loves everyone the same, no matter what you do or have done.
Believing in God means that I believe that He sent his one and only Son Jesus to die on the cross for my sins. Believing in God means that we are here to bring God glory and expand His Kingdom. Believing in God means that we are supposed to pick up and carry our crosses and die daily. Believing in God gives me something to live for.
