Jill Bond's Statement of Faith:
Simply put, my statement of faith begins with Genesis 1:1 and includes every word through Revelation 22:21, as I believe the Bible is the inerrant Word of God.
The triune God ¾ Father, Son and Holy Spirit ¾ provides the only way through His grace for our redemption of sins: the act of Christ on the cross.
The very idea that the Creator of this universe would design me and breathe an eternal life into my body, then provide the means for my salvation despite my inherent sinful nature, is humbling. I have done nothing to deserve the salvation He has provided.
When He saved me from eternal damnation, through the miracle of Jesus’ work on the cross and His resurrection, He gave me the gift of His Holy Spirit as a guide for life and interpreter of His Word. His Spirit fills my life with meaning. He compels me to obedience and creates a joy in my soul. This joy is so real that I desire to proclaim the risen Savior to everyone I come in contact with, as He gives me guidance to do so.
God caused the words to be written in the Bible so I believe them. I trust His Word for Truth and means for living. His Word, in tandem with the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, is working through me daily to perfect me, to make me more like Himself, to keep my thoughts focused through His directives.
I am an immature Christian. I learn more each day about the miracle of re-birth and to be honest, the more I study the Bible, the more I realize the little I do know and fully understand. I have a long walk ahead of me, but I am confident that as I am able to grasp more about Him, He will reveal more and more of Himself to me. (He who began a good work in me is faithful to complete it.)
I believe in God. I believe He is all-wise and I trust Him with my life to do with it whatever will give Him the most Glory.
