Statement of Faith by Confirmand, Part 11

I believe in God, who guides us through troubled times and protects us from ourselves and our sin.

I believe in our savior Jesus Christ, who teaches and heals the sick and the needy.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, who watches over us always.

God tells us the stories of the Bible, so that we may shape ourselves to become better people. Jesus died for our sins, yet he we still exploit the rules for our own gain. Yet, he forgives all sinners, and is sympathetic to our troubles. The Holy Spirit leads us and guides us through our daily lives. When we think we are alone and feel God has given up on us, he hasn’t. When we believe that God feels he is higher than we are, he doesn’t. When we believe that God is the reason for all our troubles, he isn’t. 

God spreads these morals and messages through church, where everyone is welcome and no one is denied. The young and the old, the sinners and the saints, all have one thing in common. They have faith in this life and in God. As we are made in God’s image, we must strive ourselves to be as much like God as possible. When my grandfather died, God helped me get through my grief and sadness. We must forgive those who have wronged us and be help to those in need.
