Reformed – Salvation

And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his son, in order that he might be the firstborn among his brothers. And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those ehom he justified he also glorified.

-Romans 8:28-30

 

You will say to me then, “Why does he still find fault? For who can resist his will?” But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Will what is molded say to its molder, “Why have you made me like this?” Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for dishonorable use? What if God, desiring to show his wrath and to make known his power, has endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, in order to make known the riches of his glory for vessels of mercy, wich he has prepared beforehand for glory – even us whom he has called, not from the Jews but also from the Gentiles? As indeed he says in Hosea,

“Those who were not my people I will call ‘my people,’ and her who was not beloved I will call ‘beloved.'” “and in the very place where it is said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ there they will be called ‘sons of the living God.'”

-Romans 9:19-26

 

I am reformed. I believe that God’s will is perfect and that from birth we are sinful and deceitful creatures. I believe that the only way to God is through His Grace and Love. We only deserve death and eternal separation from God. There is no way we can earn or deserve this grace and forgiveness that God give us who are called. I believe that there isn’t one prayer that you could pray to become saved, but instead that through a calling by the Holy Spirit we are able to enter into God’s presence. I believe that this does not excuse us from professing God’s word and making disciples. We are called to do both. We are to be a light unto the world. Even though God has already planned who will be called, we do not know who and when the calling will be received. We must be sure to share our faith as an act of obedience.

I believe that God’s will is perfect and unsurpassable. What is in His will has or will come to be and what is not in His will is impossible. We are sinful beings that cause mayhem and destruction on this world and we do not deserved to be saved, but through his grace we can be given the faith to follow and pursue after Him.

 

Please comment or message me if you would like to ask or say anything about this. I am here to listen. Once again I want to say that this post is in no may meant to disrespect or diminish anyone else’s faith or beliefs. This is for me to express my beliefs so that my bloggers may come to know me and also so that they might hear the word of God.

Thank you again.

My Beliefs

Hello!

Welcome to my first real blog post!

I wanted to be upfront and open with you guys about my beliefs and faith. I am a Christian. I attend a Southern Baptist church. I myself am actually a reformed baptist.

I believe that there is one God and that He is the creator of everything. I believe that He is God and 3 in one, Father, Spirit, and Son. I believe that His will is perfect and that it will always come to pass without interference from us, as humans. I believe that God has created some as vessels of mercy and others as vessels of wrath. All that passes is to bring glory to Him.

I believe that Jesus Christ was born of a virgin through the Holy Spirit. He is fully man and fully human. He lived a perfect life without sin, though He went through the same trials as other humans. I believed that He performed countless miracles throughout his life that prove His power. I believe He was baptised by John the Baptist. I believe that He was crucified on a cross to take on the sins of the world and of it’s people. I believe that 3 days later He was raised from the dead to live again. I also believe that when the time came, He went back up to heaven, only to return at a time that is unknown to us and him.

I believe that Christ is the only way to salvation. We can come straight to God and do not need to have a priest or pasteur come to God for us, through the death of His Son, Jesus, we can come to God just as we are. I believe that the Holy Bible is the God-breathed and infallible scripture of God. I do not believe in one translation, but I do hold value in the more literal translations of the Bible.

I believe that Jesus’ life was an example set forth for us to follow. We are called to love others as Christ loves us and to be the example of Christ’s love to the world around us. We are to be in the world but not of it. We are saved through the calling of the Holy Spirit only, nothing we do, say, or think can get us to heaven. Only God can allow us to be in his presence and change our hearts. We are a sinful and disgraceful people and we only deserve death and pain, but God chooses to save those who He has chosen before time began through grace alone and forgiveness. God calls us to make his name known in the world so that others may come to know Him and to glorify him. We are called to make disciples in His name. We are to follow Christ’s example and be baptised in water as an example and expression of our faith to others. Those who are the chosen members of God are to express this and to remember the sacrifice Christ made for us, through the partaking of the Lord’s Supper.

I believe that God gave us the perfect example of a family when he showed us Adam and Eve. I believe the Bible is very clear that the family is meant to consist of one man and one woman.

I believe that it is not one sin that separates us from God, but instead our sinful and deceitful nature that prevents us from God.

I believe that God is a god of grace, love, honor, and power and that He deserves all glory forever.

Please feel free to ask any questions if you feel like I have left anything out that you would like to know. If you have any comments to make you can feel free to leave them.

Please know that this post is not set up to make anyone feel inferior or to disrespect what others believe. I am here to express my faith and relationship with God. If you would like to talk about this, don’t hesitate to comment or message me privately. If you are here to recognize God as your Lord and Savior please talk to your local church leader (if you attend a church) or I would be happy to talk about this with you.

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you had known me, you would know my father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him”

Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.”

Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Phillip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the father’? Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works. Believe that I am in the father and the Father is in me, or else believe on account of the works themselves.

-John 14:6-11 (ESV)

Thank you for listening bloggers!

First Blog Post!

Hello Everyone!

Welcome to my first blog post! I am so very glad you decided to join me. I wanted to use this first post to take a second to tell you a little bit about myself and my hopes for this blog. I plan to break my blogs up into different categories so that those who are visiting for a specific blog catergory are able to see those easier than searching through everything. I plan to talk about my faith, as a Christian and my relationship with God, my lifestyle as well as tips and tricks I pick up along the way, maybe some cooking blogs here and there, and a dog mom blog. I hope to one day also have a mom blog here where we can talk about everything entailed in momhood (but we’ll wait on that one for a little while).

I am a 20 year old Christian girl from Oklahoma. I am in college part time at the moment and I hold a full-time job right now to support me and my husband. I got married August 2016 and having been loving every moment of it. My husband is definetly my bestfriend in everything I do. We love to have quiet evenings at home as much as possible. Those could entail, cooking or eating something small, spending time with the dogs, maybe watching a movie or Netflix, maybe playing on the computer. Whatever we do we always enjoy getting to spend time together at the end of the day or on a lazy weekend.

We have 3 dogs and 1 rat (I will introduce you to each one over on my dog mom blog page as well as the adventures we have with them all.

On everything I post, I would love to hear any feedback, comments, or questions you might have. Please feel free to ask anything! I will, once I begin to gain followers, probably attach my social media to this blog so that you guys can see what I am up to on more of a daily basis. I hope to post pretty frequently. I haven’t straightened out a specific schedule for this yet, mostly because there’s no real followers to keep up with yet.

Thank you so much for taking the time to get to know me a little and I hope you decide to stick around! I am toying with the idea of transferring this into more of a vlog on Youtube. Let me know your thoughts on that.

See ya around!
