I Believe, Do You?

The Bible is true. God did create this world. God is holy and does take our sins into account. Even so, He loves us and in mercy, forgives. Jesus did come; the resurrection did happen. There is a promise for all who repent and believe, they will also be resurrected on the last day. Jesus will return to rule as king. All will be judged, finally, for everything they have done, good or bad, even the things done in secret. There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ. I believe.

Great Easter Sunday

Our whole world has hope because Jesus Christ rose from the dead on this day. We live and we die, but there is the promise of a resurrection. Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life, whoever believes in me, even though he dies, will live.” Do you believe?
