It was God, the Father Almighty’s good pleasure to sacrifice his only begotten Son on a piece of wood under the governance of the Roman Empire to provide a bridge for many to enter His eternal kingdom. The death, burial, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ was God’s decisive act to destroy Sin and Death and the power of Satan over His creation. God saw fit from the foundation of the world to restore the blessed fellowship by sending the Son who became incarnate in the Virgin Mary by the Holy Spirit and to make Himself the Atonement for the sins of the world. I am one of many wound lives who have entrusted my life to the Lord Jesus Christ whose wounds provided my healing. By God’s saving grace I confess the Messiah openly before men and serve Him as my Lord and King. My life belongs to the Risen Lamb. Jesus is Lord. Caesar is not. Jesus is Lord. The President of these United States is not. Jesus is Lord. I am not.
The God and Father of my Lord Jesus Christ foreknew and predestined me to be conformed to the image of His Son. It is in the Son by the power of the Spirit I became born again and received my identity and birthright as a son of the Father, a co-heir with Christ and an heir to His kingdom. It is this saving knowledge which reorients my life daily until that Day when I shall see the face of His Majesty the Son of God when He returns in power and glory. I hope to be found hidden with Christ in God.

Miles Christi sum. I am a soldier of Christ. I’m glad to find this blog, and know I have a much older brother of faith on this site, if you pardon my saying so. I’m only a pre-teen, but God is using me for his purposes. You have inspired me to dedicate a page of my blog to Christ. I already use a peice of my time to write what I hope is a faith-inspiring story. God has blessed me in many ways, and I do not doubt him, and will be confirmed into my church next year. May God bless, guide, and keep you and all who see this blog.
