What Can I Know?

What Can I Know?

God is good all the time.

God knows all about me and every one of my problems.

God is totally aware of my weaknesses, faults and character defects.

God continues to love me unconditionally.

God has an unlimited supply of grace.

No matter how bad it gets, the grace of God is always sufficient.

The blood of the Lamb of God has redeemed my soul.

I was born again by the grace of God.

I have been adopted into God’s forever family.

My name is written in the Lamb’s book of Life.

Jesus Christ is my Lord.

The Lord Jesus is my Good Shepherd.

He leads me in paths of righteousness for His names sake.

The Son of God calls me His friend.

I have assurance that nothing can separate me from the love of God in Christ.

My salvation is anchored in the completed work of Christ on the Cross.

When Jesus Christ said “It is finished” from the cross that is exactly what He meant.

I cannot add to or take away from His completed work.

My salvation is based on what He and done and not on what I can do. 

From a human perspective it was unfair that I was already condemned when I was born.

I inherited the curse of Adam and was headed to Hell for eternity.

It was also unfair that a perfectly innocent Man took all the punishment for all my sins.

He paid for my sin debt that I could never pay.

He used people and circumstances to let me know that I could be freed from that sin debt.

While I was lost and did not know I needed a Savior.

He sought me a wooed me to Himself by the Holy Spirit.

My life in the mortal body is temporary.

I could die or be raptured any day.

I remain ready to end this earthly pilgrimage at any moment.

Also I am willing to live to a ripe old age that I may serve my Savior.

I am destined to live forever in Heaven with God and fellow believers.

I am committed to completely trust and obey the Lord Jesus Christ.

My top priority is seeking first the kingdom of God and His righteousness.

I choose to follow Jesus one day at a time.

I aim to consistently improve the stewardship of my time talent and treasure.

By grace and through faith I abide in the True Vine and bear good fruit for His glory.

My unshakable faith in the Living God is based on the eternal Word of God.

My Faith Confession

My Faith Confession

Circumstances may seem grim.

Feelings could change.

Thoughts will vary.

Faith wavers.

So what!!!

My God is GOOD.

My Redeemer LIVES.

My God remains the SAME.

My Advocate EFFECTIVELY pleads my case at God’s right Hand.

My Bible is forever the TRUSTWORTHY Word Of God.

My position IN Christ is eternally secure.

My blood covenant with God Almighty is NEVER-ENDING.

In due season, Jesus Christ will SURELY deliver me from these unpleasant circumstances.

My Good Shepherd is absolutely committed to NEVER leave me nor forsake me.

My job is to FOLLOW Jesus Christ day and night.

His job is to get me out of trouble along this narrow pilgrim path.

My job is to ABIDE in the True Vine.

His job is to prune the branches so they bear more fruit.

My job is to YIELD to the Potter’s loving Hand while He has me on His wheel.

His job is to mold and shape me.

My job is to consistently WASH my mind by the water of His holy Word.

His job is to clean out the impurities in this vessel.

My job is to TRUST and OBEY the Lord Jesus Christ.

His job is to guide and provide.

Partly my sins got me into this trouble.

Partly the devil set a trap for me.

Partly the unfair world system made matters even worse.

But NONE of this is beyond the God’s grace, mercy and sovereignty.

Either the Bible stories are relevant for me today OR they are just obsolete history.

Either God keeps ALL His promises OR He is a liar.

Either the verses about spiritual warfare are real OR I have a wimpy Bible.

God will be glorified no matter what I say or do.

God can work all my flawed efforts together for His glory and my good.

God is best honored as I walk by faith following His beloved Son.

Now I choose to renew my commitment to trusting Jesus Christ in EVERYTHING.

Amen, so be it!

Jesus Christ We Praise You

Jesus Christ, We Praise You

Jesus Christ we praise you for WHO You are and what You have DONE.

You ALONE are worthy of our praises.

Let us remember WHY You are worthy of our praises.

You are faithful.

You made promises recorded in the Bible and You KEPT each of Your promises.

You have ALWAYS been consistent in Your expressions of love and kindness.

When we stumble, fumble or fail, You are ALWAYS there.

You NEVER give up on us.

You are PERSISTENT, as You provide direction, correction and comfort.

You are all-knowing.

You know ALL about our lives.

You know EACH of our thoughts, feelings, intentions, plans, motives, fears, doubts, and more.

Even though You know all our dirtiest and darkest secrets, You STILL love us.

You are loving.

Your love is PURE.

Your love is EXPRESSED in your kindness, tenderness and gentleness.

When we turn away from You in our selfishness and rebellion, You CONTINUE to love us.

When we return to You by faith You welcome us and do NOT condemn us.

Your unconditional love is FAR beyond our comprehension.

You are full of grace and mercy.

You have extended Your lovingkindness to us when we did NOT deserve it.

You have NEVER run out of Your amazing grace or tender mercies.

You have ACCURATELY recorded Your expressions of Your grace and mercy in Your Word.

You INSPIRE our faith in You, that, as You treated the biblical characters You could also treat us.

You are ever-present.

You are everywhere ALL the time.

It is NOT necessary to be in a church building to pray.

It is NOT necessary to be kneeling by the bed with eyes closed to have prayers heard.

It is NOT necessary to travel a long distance to a special shrine to meet with You.

You are ALWAYS present with us at home, work, school, play, shopping, commuting and more.

You are NOW at our hometown and at every city on the other side of the globe.

You are simultaneously PRESENT at the beaches, in the forests and on the mountains.

At any time and in any place You are IMMEDIATELY present.

ALL we must do is stop and look unto You by faith.

You are CLOSER than our thoughts, feelings, hurts, pains, doubts, fears, and more.

You are unchanging.

You cannot and will not EVER change.

You are, were and always will be PERFECT.

You can NEVER improve.

If You could improve then You would not have been perfect.

You do not evolve from something less to something better.

We just learn more about You and apply that better.

So we better apprehend who You were all along.

You are the most steady and sure foundation in ALL the universe.

Everything and every person changes.

You remain the same as You were, are and will be.

You are eternal.

You are the only true God and You exist outside of time.

You are as You are.

You were as You were.

You will be as You will be.

Your eternal nature is not subject to the forces of our temporal existence.

Time, space, matter, humans, opinions, votes, wars, lies, slanders and more cannot touch You.

You are good.

You have all the power, knowledge, insight and wisdom.

You could just as well punish, harm, torture, and slowly kill each human.

According to the letter of the Law You have every right to be against each human.

Our innate sinfulness is an offense to Your holy righteousness.

Alternatively You could choose to be totally indifferent.

You do not owe humans anything.

We do not deserve Your grace and Your mercies.

It is not necessary for You to love and care for us.

You do not need us but we desperately need You.

But based on the biblical evidence, at the very core of your being, You are good.

You are forgiving.

We cannot do the right thing all the time.

We make mistakes.

We hurt others with our words and actions.

We could never repair all the damage we have done to others.

Every one of us has lied, cheated and stolen at some point in our life.

We have disobeyed You with our thoughts, words and deeds.

We have done bad things that make us feel guilty.

We have failed to do good things when we knew better.

We can feel ashamed of how our life has turned out.

We have not loved You and others like Your Word commands us.

We have fallen short of the high standards in Your Word.

We have not loved others like You have loved us

You gave us the Lord’s Supper to REMIND us of Your forgiveness.

We tend to forget Your sacrifice on our behalf.

Through taking the bread and wine, You wisely lead us to recall what you did for us.

You told us to REMEMBER that You shed Your blood to forgive us our sins that separated us from You.

You are one with the Father.

The Bible records your COMPLETE obedience to our Father in heaven.

You REVEALED His character in Your words and deeds.

We can TOTALLY trust the Father that we cannot see because of what we saw in You.

You sent the Holy Spirit.

During Your brief lifetime You spoke great teachings and did mighty deeds.

You made a way for EACH believer to have the Holy Spirit living on the inside.

This allows each of us to have an INTIMATE connection with You.

You, the Son of God, along with the Holy Spirit and the Father, are the Holy Trinity.

We have the distinct privilege to have God alive inside us.

You called our body the temple of the Holy Spirit.

Then from inside of us, You can make alive the Word of God.

You can remind us of what You had commanded us.

You can prompt us along the path of righteousness.

You can convict us of sin without causing us to be burdened with feelings of guilt.

Then You lead us to confess to God and/or others.

You guide us to bear fruits of repentance.

You can draw us to Yourself.

You can guide us in the light of Your truth.

You can comfort us when we need it the most.
