Personal Narrative: What I Believe

2274 Words10 Pages

How a person behaves, what they say, what they do, where they go, what they watch, what they listen to all comes down to three things…what they believe, who they believe, and how much they believe it. As followers of Christ, we will act, speak, and respond differently than when we did beforehand all based on believing the Word of God as true. For me, sometimes believing is hard and seems downright impossible because of situations and circumstances that are beyond my personal control. Sometimes I even question God, His ways, and His plans, and then, He reminds me not to lean on my own understanding, but on His. It’s okay to have questions, but it’s not okay to lose faith over them.
There has to come a time in every believer’s life where they …show more content…

I believe He is who He said He is, the great I AM, the King of kings and the Lord of Lords. What we believe determines the outcome of our lives. What we believe will convict us and guide us throughout the rest of our earthly days.
John 11:40 “Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?”
There are many people out there trying to make you believe their “truth”, but guard your heart against wolves in sheep’s clothing and believe only the real truth of God and then you will see His glory. What you believe has everything to do with who you are and what you will do with your life. What you believe changes everything!
If you believe then you will pray. If you believe then you will give. If you believe then you will praise. If you believe then you will worship. If you believe then you will turn your back on the world and face God. You would give up earthly things, fleshly things, because you believe God has a better, eternal reward …show more content…

I believe there is a God who is my strong tower, who is my protection from the enemy. I believe He goes with me into the valley of the shadow of death so I will fear no evil, for what can man do unto me when God is for me? I believe that my life is in His hands, and whether I live, or die, I am with Him and He is with me. We must believe on God more, rely on Him and His promises more than our understanding.
Do you believe God can restore your family? Do you believe God can provide for you? Do you believe God can save your mom and dad? Do you believe God can heal you? Do you believe He can free you?
Acts 3: 6-7 “But Peter said, “I do not possess silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you: In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene-- walk!" And seizing him by the right hand, he raised him up; and immediately his feet and his ankles were strengthened…”
You may not have silver or gold, but what you do have is much greater than that! You have Jesus. Give Jesus! He is the one who straightened out withered limbs, made the blind see, and deaf hear. He has the power to raise the dead to life, for He is life. Believe in who you know! Believe on Him who has called

    Our worldview is the lens that we make sense of life and should be intentional as we adopt a philosophy of life that is informed by something greater than ourselves as Christ should be our example, according to 1 Peter 2:21 “for [as a believer] you have been called for this purpose, since Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you may follow in His footsteps” (Amplified Version). For this reason, our moral compass when based on a biblical worldview should influence how we approach making decisions as it pertains to business ethics (Porter,2013). To what extent do your personal religious (or non-religious) beliefs about life impact your sense of business ethics and personal decision-making? Every decision that I reach

Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you” (New International Version, Deuteronomy 31:6).
