My "Christ" Confession

IN CHRIST VICTORIOUS: MY CHRIST CONFESSION:

"I have come so that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly."
John 10:10 b

The focus and theme of this website is the person and message of Jesus of Nazareth. A man who was seemingly born out of time because he transcended time in the eternal truth he proclaimed of us being accepted and counted as worthy. Worthy in spite of all the circumstances and frailties associated with the human condition. My faith isn’t based upon some religious dogma, law or sacrament. I now define my faith based upon the words and actions of the Galilean carpenter the world simply knows as Jesus Christ.
I believe to fully understand the concept of “God” we must begin with Jesus, who in Christian thought is the pointer to ultimate reality and meaning, the beginning place of all revelation. Everything that we claim to know about God comes from the real experience and teachings of what we read and understand about Jesus. We are children of God in the sense that we all share a common experience. That experience is defined as the human condition. Jesus taught us that that the kingdom of heaven was among and dwelling within us now. He stepped beyond the bounds of his Judaic structures and beliefs and redirected our focus on a kingdom of conscience and of the heart. Failing to recognize this revelatory truth robs us of a life that could be live abundantly if we so desired it.

“We know that there is only one God, the Father, who created everything, and we exist for him. And there is only one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom God made everything and through whom we have been given life.”
1 Corinthians 8:6

I confess and glory in the victory of his cross. For in Christ we are more than conqueror's, we are sons of the Almighty God.
This is my "CHRIST CONFESSION."
