what DO you believe?

We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in Him.

—1 Thessalonians 4:14

Song reference! (I seem to be on a roll!)

Our Father everlasting
The all creating One
God Almighty

Through Your Holy Spirit
Conceiving Christ the Son
Jesus our Savior

I believe in God our Father
I believe in Christ the Son
I believe in the Holy Spirit
Our God is three in one
I believe in the resurrection
That we will rise again
For I believe in the name of Jesus

Our Judge and our Defender
Suffered and crucified
Forgiveness is in You

Descended into darkness
You rose in glorious life
Forever seated high

I believe in You
I believe You rose again
I believe that Jesus Christ is Lord
I believe in God our Father
I believe in Christ the Son
I believe in the Holy Spirit
Our God is three in one
I believe in the resurrection
That we will rise again
For I believe in the name of Jesus

I believe in life eternal
I believe in the virgin birth
I believe in the saints' communion
And in Your holy Church
I believe in the resurrection
When Jesus comes again
For I believe, in the name of Jesus

It’s not just an Easter thing, folks, Jesus' resurrection was just the beginning!

His resurrection means that those of us who have faith in Him and who trust in the Father that raised Him from the dead can have confidence that those who belong to Him, whether they are living or dead when He comes, will also share in His victory over death.

Personally, that is all the assurance I need (oh! That could be another song reference “Blessed Assurance”, but I will spare you today!)

Have a blessed day!
