I've been a Christian since I was a little girl. But my Christianity is a muddy mess of thoughts and opinions and making God into what works for me-like going shopping at the mall and picking out whatever I want, putting together faith like I would an outfit. Somehow I don't think the Creator, the I AM, the savior of the world is something we can mix and match to out liking. Cindy Martinusen Coloma
About This Quote

To be a Christian is to believe in the teachings of Jesus Christ. The Bible tells us that Jesus is God’s son, sent to earth to “save you from your sins” (John 1:29). He came to earth as part of God's plan for our salvation, and he died on the cross for our sins. We are saved by faith, not by works; but we are saved by faith through grace (Ephesians 2:8-10). We must believe, because Jesus died for our sins, and He rose again.
