Believe By Frank J Casella

There are several ways to believe. We can believe in ourselves or someone else. We can believe in a certain way to do something. We can also believe In what others tell us.

The important thing for me is when I believe that it’s my own thinking, and not what another person wants me to beleive. Sometimes, when I do this I can feel all alone.

So, there needs to be, I have found, a source for your convictions. A measuring stick if you will. That source for me is Jesus Christ -- not because we live in a Christan nation or that the majority still believes in Christianity.

Rather because the words and actions of Jesus are proven, and have impacted my life to the point of that is what I beleive. Jesus also brings us to a form of independence. ...

Those who live contrary to the designs and plans of God are courting destruction and Death — not simply the death of the body, but the death of the soul.

Living in a way contrary to the purposes of our human nature made in the image of God inevitably leads to suffering and mourning. The lies we tell ourselves and those we accept from our culture lead to ever more complex justifications which inevitably damage our spiritual health, sending us into spirals of sin which further blind us.

Such justification with out repentance ultimately leads to destruction. It is only by loving God’s truth more than human praise that we can come to true repentance, which frees us to live in accord with God’s purposes revealed to us in Jesus Christ, the perfect image of God.
