The 3 Pillars of Christian Faith

This journey of Christian life, I trust by looking these 3 fundamental pillars of Christianity together "Christ deity and incarnation, "the reliability of Scripture" and "the resurrection of Christ --- it captured my view a renewed vision of “who Christ is” and why he came to earth - I believe also that I will catch a fresh understanding of how reliable God’s word is and why He so carefully preserved it for me.

This is also a big challenge for me with an optimistic perspective on life and for my future as I explore the reality of Christ’s death, the Scripture and His resurrection.

As I have examined my faith in God, it convicted me with these 3 major questions in life. I believe, it answers all my questions of life – tonight, I pray that would do the same thing to you too.

Who Am I? And person of Jesus

Most of us may be asking the same question, that question “Who Am I?” slumbers in every individual heart. I may not be asking it in those three words, but my heart is seeking a vital relational connection to my Lord Jesus Christ.

I really want to know the value of who I really am. I really want to know the value of how to be loved and accepted.

Astonishingly, I finally found the answer to my question, it is also the key that will correct my distorted faith about God – it leads me to the truth about Jesus Christ and it kept my faith strongly at ease – that He is God who became flesh and lived amongst us.

Ephesians 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

They are more overwhelming evidence of Christ’s deity though it is not only sufficient to convince our mind – especially those people who are skeptics. But if we are going to go deeper and study the deity of Jesus Christ – it is amazingly meaningful to individual especially for Christian like myself who is truly willing to study the truth within and enables to discover the true identity – “who I truly am?”


Why Am I Here? And the Word of God

As a Christian, I fear sometimes that the culture will somehow capture me to change my personal view about Christianity – I live in a multi-cultural country of Canada, working with people with different belief.

Living to a country and exposed to a place where people are into illicit sex, illegal drug abuse, alcohol use, dishonesty, violence, and host of other things that broke my heart and ruin people lives.

I want to live protected from such thing and see myself happy, productive and living in a godly way – praying that this kind of culture will not affect my Christian life.

Now, I asked this question, “Why Am I here? – most of the answer sprung up from distorted beliefs about the truth - but I trust and believe that there is only one answer to my question, an answer that leads me to conviction about the reliability of God’s Word, “the Bible”.

I continually studying the abundance of evidences of the Bible’s reliability and convinced that only the Word of God is an accurate and true reflection of the God who desires the relationship with us – understanding this is what justify of reliable means into our lives – and how this Word will lead the individual heart to a godly living – this will discover our God-given purpose in life.

Romans 5:2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.


Where Am I going? And the Resurrection of Christ

It doesn’t take me long to realize how life is full of disappointments, full of trials, and heartaches. This is an unavoidable conclusion from us.

But how are we going to handle this obstacle in life – far too often these obstacles turn to despondency and despair – we may become resentful and angry every time something has happened into our lives. It is far easy for us – especially if we live in the high risk and cruel world.

This third fundamental question become even more pressing to me and may be even to everyone especially for Christian - “Where Am I going?”

I believe and trust and without a doubt that there is only one answer to my question – and this tied into one of the three pillars of Christianity - the resurrection of Christ.

When I begun my study, and put my heart into looking at the evidences of the resurrection of Christ – I faithfully discovered the truth in regards to this historical event – and more than that, it answered my question that the resurrection is not only objectively true but it also profoundly meaningful particularly to any kind of disappointments in life – and strongly convicted me and lead me to the truth and the meaning of resurrection of Christ can actually changed my entire outlook on life and provide me with the assurance to “eternal life”.

I believe this is also a destiny to every Christian to change their entire outlook on life and can determine to face life and death, good or evil, victory or difficulty with a spirit of gratitude, optimism and of course the courage to know Jesus Christ.

I am sure Jesus Christ is saying the same thing to you – as Christian, we may acknowledge him as our Saviour, but have we examined the evidences of our faith?

You and I may have made the decision to trust God in our daily lives, but have we grasped the objective truth and relational meaning of our Christian faith?

I will leave the same questions tonight and thought - these may occur to you and you maybe asking yourself the same thing that I already asked and answered.

John 10:7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
