It truly is my heart\u2019s desire to make my personal position and point of reference perfectly clear to any and all who would use this website.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">I am a Born-Again, blood-bought, Christian Believer and Worshipper of my personal Lord, Master, and Savior, Jesus Christ (Jesus of Nazareth). I have been spiritually saved and baptized (fully submerged) in complete accordance with and obedience to the instructions given by God Almighty, Himself, as recorded within the pages of the Holy Bible. I completely believe that the Holy Bible is the Divinely inspired, inerrant, infallible, unarguable, and true Word of God. I believe in the Triune Godhead,\u2026the Trinity\u2026God, the Father, God, the Son, and God, the Holy Spirit\u2026Three separate persons all in One.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">I believe in and worship God Almighty, the Creator of all the Universe, and everything that is on or in it. I believe in the Great I Am, the One and only true God,\u2026The God, of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I unashamedly believe and trust in all of the Holy Scriptures as the true truth of life itself\u2026.without error, without mistake, and without contradiction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">I believe in my Living Lord Jesus Christ; who was born of a virgin; who came to the earth as a testimony of the truth; who lived, preached, and performed miracles for approximately 33 years; who was crucified and died upon a cross in Jerusalem as full payment for all of man\u2019s sins: past, present, and future; who was buried in a borrowed tomb; and who was three days later was raised again (resurrected) back to full life from the grave as the Living Son of the Living God, and whose Living Holy Spirit guides and directs all Christian Believers today.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">I believe with all of my heart, mind, and spirit that Jesus Christ is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world. May I say to you, that there is only one mediator between man and God. That one mediator is the Lord Jesus Christ.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">I believe that there is only one true God, and that is, of course, the God of the Holy Bible. I believe in the words, guidance, and direction given by the One Holy God as recorded in both the Old and New Testaments; unapologetically, and without any exceptions, stipulations, conditions, or other reservations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">I believe in God\u2019s true truth concerning the salvation of man\u2019s soul, the only pathway to heaven and all eternity, as clearly stated in the <strong>Book of Romans, Chapter 10, verses 9\u201413, ESV:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">(9) \u201cBecause, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"> and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead,<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"> you will be saved.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">(10) for with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"> mouth one confesses and is saved.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">(11) For the Scripture says, \u2018Everyone who believes in him will<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"> not be put to shame.\u2019<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">(12) For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"> same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"> on him.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">(13) For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be<\/span><\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"> saved.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">I am indeed a Believer in the saving grace of God through the person of the Lord Jesus Christ. I am a sinner, saved by grace. Make no mistake about it! Nothing on this side of heaven could or ever will make me change my position, perspective, or understanding on or about this most precious personal and eternal matter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">My hope and belief in the God of the Holy Bible is the same as is told to us through the old gospel hymn, \u201cMy Hope is Built on Nothing Less:\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">\u201cMy hope is built on nothing less<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"> Than Jesus\u2019 blood and righteousness;<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"> I dare not trust the sweetest frame,<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"> But wholly lean on Jesus\u2019 name.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"> On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"> All other ground is sinking sand.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who is The One True God in Whom I Personally Believe In a most sincere and humble effort to clarify just who my God really is, and just why I personally believe, trust, and obey Him; and why I so &hellip; <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/davesevern.com\/blog\/my-spiritual-beliefs\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2767","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/davesevern.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2767","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/davesevern.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/davesevern.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/davesevern.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/davesevern.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2767"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/davesevern.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2767\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2786,"href":"https:\/\/davesevern.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2767\/revisions\/2786"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/davesevern.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2767"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
