I love the song 'We Believe' by The Newsboys. It gets me every time when I hear, "We believe in God the Father, we believe in Jesus Christ, we believe in the Holy Spirit and He's given us new life..." Proclaiming God is our source! Our God! "We believe in the crucifixion, we believe that He conquered death, we believe in the resurrection and He's coming back again!" Declaring Him as our Savior and that He is coming on the clouds one day... It just makes my spirit leap within!
1 Peter 1:18-19 "You must know - recognize - that you were redeemed/ransomed from the useless/fruitless way of living inherited by tradition from your forefathers, not with corruptible things such as silver and gold, but you were purchased with the precious blood of Christ the Messiah, like that of a sacrificial lamb without blemish or spot." Verse 21 says, "Through Him you believe in (adhere to, rely on) God, Who raised Him up from the dead and gave Him honor and glory, so that your faith and hope are centered and rest in God."
There is something so healing and powerful and exciting about professing our faith. It reminds us of our salvation story. It reminds us these are temporary troubles. It reminds us He is coming back for us. It reminds us He is our help, our comfort, our strength. It keeps the focus where it should be - on Him!
Revelation 22:14 says, "Blessed, happy and to be envied are those who cleanse their garments, that they may have the authority and right to approach the tree of life and to enter through the gates into the city." We stand on the truth that the blood of Jesus has been poured out for us, and believe it was more than ENOUGH to cleanse us of all iniquity and restore us to relationship with Our Father. We get to rest in the promise of entering God's paradise forever, eating of the tree of life. That is good news y'all!!! Good, good news!
I encourage you to take a moment today and profess your faith in the Father, Son & Holy Spirit. Maybe sing along with the Newsboys! It does a believer good! ;)
