People have a lot to say about and who they think Jesus is and what His coming into the world means, but the authority on the matter is the Bible.
I BELIEVE IN…I BELIEVE JESUS IS…

Investment (Ephesians 1:3-14 / 1 Peter 1:3-9).
He invested in you, made you valuable, worth something to God. God gave His greatest, most precious and valuable thing, His Son as the asset, invested in you, with the Spirit as the down payment. The return on that investment was not a risk, it was a guaranteed harvest. I believe in your dream, because I believe in His reality. I believe in God’s investment.
What came into the world? It was and is something to believe in, and something worth sharing.
I BELIEVE! The question is, do you believe?

I believe!
Do you believe in Allah, or Horus, or any of the other millions of gods who could have ever existed. No, I don't believe in Jesus or God cos it's all made up.
I believe.
I still believe...
No, I don't believe in Allah, or Horus, or any of the other millions of gods who could have ever existed, cos it's all made up by people who want to make excuses why they should be allowed to do whatever they want.
I believe in the depravity of man, and the sickness of desiring to be allowed to do whatever I want. Therefor I need a savior. I believe in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Well said, Christopher.
I believe....
And if you take the time to consider this or argue against it perhaps your conscience is telling you to consider this scripture and believe too!
If we are wrong nothing happens when you die but if you are wrong and don’t believe then you go to hell....something to consider.
Pascal's Wager is not the only consideration, of course, but it sure beats the wages of sin...
