The first of many

Here am I, in a new effort to be a witness for Christ. Why not use every tool given to us to give God the glory? My sole purpose in being here is to spread the message, share testimonies, edify others, and bring glory to Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ, my Lord and Saviour, was the personification of a perfect man. Jesus Christ, the Word of God made manifest in the flesh, born of a virgin, lead a sinless life and in His valiant effort to follow the will of His Father, died once for the sins of every man past, present, and future, so we as sinful beings could be made free of our bondage to death and have eternal life by the blood of Jesus Christ and His magnificent resurrection.
Jesus Christ was the Messiah. He was foretold of by the prophets in the holy scriptures. He was God’s ultimate sacrifice for the redemption of sin. He was a man despised and rejected of men. He is the devil’s greatest threat. He is Master and schoolteacher. He came not to destroy the law or prophets, but to fulfill it and what they said. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. Jesus Christ is the King of kings. He is the Alpha and Omega, beginning and end. One day He will return and claim his rightful place on the throne.
Until the day of Jesus’ return, we should do everything to spread the message, bring God glory, and praise Him all the day long. After everything that God has done for us, why would we not want to give Him our all? As it says in Romans 12:1 “I beseech you therefore brethren by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.” To serve God with our every being is what He asks of us; It’s the least we could do. We should die to ourselves daily, follow the will of God, and be ready to suffer for His name sake. We must be obedient and endeavor to have a closer walk with Jesus.
I could go on for hours on end about how amazing God is and about Jesus and His saving grace. But there will most definitely be more to come…
In Christ,
