My Personal Spiritual Beliefs
I am a Christian, but perhaps not in a way that you have considered before.
My beliefs are not based upon religious traditions made up by people or organizations, but rather they are based upon a way of life exampled in the Holy Bible.
- Common Questions
- So, what exactly do you believe then?
- What does this mean to me?
- Why is this on your business website?
- Anything else you'd like to say?
What I believe.
Here is what I honestly and personally believe regarding life, the spirit, and purpose.- I believe there is a god, only one, that he is greater than everything, that he is good and perfect, and that he designed and fashioned this universe including the earth and it's inhabitants.
- I believe that God, though a single being, chooses to express himself as three distinct personalities within that being: a father(leader), a son(follower), and a spirit(helper).
- I believe that he gave his most prized creation, humankind, the freedom of choice, and that humankind promptly rebelled against God, choosing to disobey the laws of goodness and perfection and instead followed the deceptions of "the father of lies"(Satan).
- I believe these acts of rebellion, called "sin", resulted in a spiritual separation of humankind from God, but that, in his goodness, God devised a way to restore his relationship with humankind and ultimately defeat evil.
- I believe that these acts of rebellion have a just punishment of both physical and spiritual death.
- I believe that God(the son) became flesh and blood, born of the virgin Mary, conceived by God(the spirit) and named Jesus.
- I believe that Jesus was tempted and tested, in a spiritual sense, in every way that we humans are, yet he never rebelled or succumbed to the internal or external pressure to sin that we often experience. He submitted to God(the father) in every way, thus Jesus lived the perfect life.
- I believe that Jesus was crucified on a cross based on false charges made by the jealous religious leaders of the time. But I also believe that his death was really his own choice. It was the sacrifice of the only perfect life to accept the penalty of death on behalf of those he loved: all humankind.
- I believe that after being dead for three days that God(the father) resurrected God(the son) from the dead, that he spent 40 days on earth and then went back to the father where he now reigns a master of all.
- Most importantly, I believe that those who make a decided choice not to sin but rather to submit their lives to this new kingdom of God, under the leadership of Jesus Christ, will live a spiritually abundant life here on earth and, after death, will live eternally with God.
What this means to you.
This means:- I treat you and people related to your business with respect and honor as unique creations of God.
- I deal with you fairly and honestly to the best of my knowledge and ability according to the example Jesus gave.
- As a stable, patient, mild-mannered and diligent worker, I can be counted on.
Why this is on my business website.
This business is a self-employment operation. And while I try my best to deal professionally in my business relationships, I realize that you still have to deal with me personally. I want you to know my personal beliefs since they are a part of who I am as a person and saturate into every part of my life including this "company of one".
A parting word.
As I said initially, you may not have considered this type of Christianity before. Perhaps you've been offended by others calling themselves followers of Christ, but who prove by their actions to have very different beliefs than these; perhaps malicious even.I hope you will give me a chance to show through my life the kind of positive and productive impact God has had on me, and that this would reflect in the quality of work and the care and concern I put towards helping your business to succeed.
I also hope you will consider these beliefs as truths for your own life so that you can find the spiritually abundant life that I have experienced.
May God bless you.
