What I choose to believe

I choose to believe and place my trust in the Gospel today.

Christ's death, Resurrection for me to save me, I choose to trust His saving power.

Romans 1:16
For the Gospel is the power of God unto salvation - deliverance, healing, power, wisdom and strength for all who believe.

From the Greek Lexicon:

Salvation : Soteria in the Greek -

  1. deliverance, preservation, safety, salvation
    1. deliverance from the molestation of enemies
    2. in an ethical sense, that which concludes to the souls safety or salvation
      1. of Messianic salvation
  2. salvation as the present possession of all true Christians
  3. future salvation, the sum of benefits and blessings which the Christians, redeemed from all earthly ills, will enjoy after the visible return of Christ from heaven in the consummated and eternal kingdom of God.
Fourfold salvation: saved from the penalty, power, presence and mostimportantly the pleasure of sin. A.W. Pink
