Owning our Faith Because if you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For one believes with the heart and so is justified, and one confesses with the mouth and so is saved. Romans 10:9-10 Life is filled with many choices and decisions. Many times we are raised in a tradition of the Christian faith where we talk about Jesus without really knowing in our hearts what we believe. When we begin to truly search out our own faith and develop a deep relationship with Christ, then we understand and profess our beliefs from the heart. It is our belief in Christ and the desire to profess him as Savior that grants us forgiveness of our sins and eternal life. When we choose to follow God and confess him as our Savior, God's grace and forgiveness, which are beyond all our human capabilities, make us whole again. Then we begin a faith journey of our own making, because it is from our own heart and experience. We become disciples of the Lord, spreading this joyous confession of love and grace to all we meet. Melissa Dempsey Prayer: Dear God, help me to find a true relationship with you. May I be bold and faithful as I profess my faith in you and your loving sacrifice. Amen.
