- Because of
Christ's death on Calvary's cross, I am a new creation of
infinite worth. I am deeply loved, completely forgiven, and
totally accepted by God. As I fear Him, I overcome fears of
failure, fears of the judgment, fears of rejection, and feelings
of inadequacy. Because God is my Creator, I will worship and
serve Him with my praises as I depend on His sufficiency for my
every need. I believe that He is most glorified when I am most
satisfied in Him.
- Because of the
everlasting gospel, I am absolutely secure in my identity as a
precious child of God. I will, therefore, not seek to find love
in all the wrong places [Babylon] by depending on possessions, people,
position, and power to fill my empty spaces and fix my
broken parts. I believe that Jesus will heal my broken heart and
set me free from the bondage of bitterness and unforgiveness as
I choose to forgive others as God has forgiven me.
- I will not look
to any idol [beast] to solve my problems, overcome hardships or
to alleviate pain. Because I serve a Great and Mighty God,
and nothing is too difficult for him, I will let go of all my attempts of control lest
I use the the methods of the beast to do the work of the Lamb.
Because Jesus is my sovereign Creator and King, who works all
things together for good to those who love Him, I will exercise
the patience of the saints and patience with the saints as I
accept difficult situations without giving God a deadline to
remove them. I will keep the commandments of God, not in order
to earn salvation, but to protect the salvation He has already
given me. Because of Christ's death on Calvary's cross, I now
confess that my salvation is not based on my performance of the
terms of a contract, but rests on fully trusting in Christ's
covenant faithfulness.
"Worthy is the Lamb who was slain!"
