Jesus, I believe in you.

 I Believe

Not as a theory, or a distant, starry light,

But as the Breath within my breath,

the Day within my night.

Not as a symbol,or a noble, ancient creed,

But as the Living Water meeting my immediate need.

Jesus, I believe in You.

I believe in the Word who was there before the dawn,

Who knit the cosmos into being,and wore our flesh, and bore our scorn.

I believe in the Love that knelt to wash the dust from weary feet,

That walked upon the churning waves,and made the bitter waters sweet.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16)

I believe Your blood is the covenant, the seal upon my soul,

The single sacrifice that makes the broken sinner whole.

I believe the tomb is empty—death could not contain its King—

And in that shattered stone,I hear the bells of freedom ring.

If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9)

I believe You are the Vine, and I a branch that must abide;

The only Source of life in me,with all my strength denied.

I believe You are the Cornerstone,the sure foundation laid,

And every other footing is a shadow on the shade.

I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. (John 14:6)

So I believe—not just my mind, but with my will and breath,

In life,in death, and in the life that triumphs over death.

You are my Prophet,Priest, and King, my Anchor and my Friend,

My story’s end and my beginning,world without end.

Amen.

Amen.

Amen.

The Foundation of Belief:

This declaration rests on the core truths of the Christian faith, which scripture illuminates:

· John 3:16 reveals the motive of belief: God's immeasurable love.

· Romans 10:9 outlines the substance of belief: the Lordship and Resurrection of Jesus.

· John 14:6 proclaims the exclusivity and sufficiency of belief in Christ as the only way to the Father.

· 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 defines the gospel we believe: Christ's death for our sins and His victorious resurrection.

To say "I believe in You" is to stake one's entire existence—past, present, and future—on the person and work of Jesus Christ. It is an act of total surrender and whole-hearted trust.
