Faith

I was thinking the other day about how I would summarise my faith; not give my testimony as we like to do in evangelical circles. So if someone asked me "What do you believe?" I would say the following:

'I Love the Lord my God with all my heart, soul, strength and my mind' ; and, 'I Love my neighbour as myself.'


But "How can we know God?" I would say through Jesus, he is the only introduction we need.


"I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.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."


Someone may then ask "What does this neighbour look like?"


Anyone I come across who is in need, both here and around the world.

"Which of these three do you think was a neighbour to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?"
The expert in the law replied, "The one who had mercy on him."
Jesus told him, "Go and do likewise."
