In a world that is slowly moving away from biblical Christianity and confused with various conflicting teachings, Every generation of Christians have struggled to protect the integrity and purity of faith. Every now and then whenever threats to Christianity came up, faithful believers from all over the world including different denominations would come together and make a statement of faith to summarize their faith. Such a statement was called a Creed.
Did you accept God’s love and sacrifice today?
Eph 5:25-26
Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,
Eph 5:26 that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word,
Eph 5:27 so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.
Purpose of God’s Word
In order to be pure (cleansed) we must allow God’s written word and Holy Spirit’s work to work in us. This is done by reading and meditating upon God’s word
Ignore the word of god at your own peril!
