There has been on greater sacrifice than Jesus dying on that cross. Only He didn't die, He conquered death for us. God loved us so very much that He gave His life for us. WOW!!! Thank you for sharing this contest entry with us. Good luck with the contest.

Comment from Begin Again
Amen! I've walked in darkness and experienced tragedy but I've made it back to the light of our Lord because he walked by myside, guiding me as I stumbled to find my way. Without my faith, I would not be whom I am.
Smiles and hugs, Carol

Amen to you, as well. I believe that during our darkest hours is when God is closest to us. He doesn't promise to keep us from trials, but He does promise to be with us in those trials. It just takes faith to endure and persevere, which makes our faith that much stronger when we emerge on the other side of those trials. I appreciate your testimonial review and kind words. Thank you, Carol. John
Comment from AliMom
Amen. What a clear and eloquent explanation for your faith. I love your in depth explanation of "It is Finished". This would make a very compelling sermon and testimony for the unbeliever. Keep the faith. Keep up the good work spreading the good news/

Sometimes we wonder if, in our writing, we're making a difference. Then God sends a little message (His living water) through people like you to encourage us to keep going. For that, I'm grateful. Blessings to you for your review. I especially appreciate the sixth star. John

Comment from T B Botts
Hello John,
I think many people have a hard time believing in Christ because nothing is required of them, except to receive the gift of God. I know that it's human nature to want to be in charge of our lives, regardless of how much of a mess we make of them, but God in all of His mercy will often allow a person to get into such a bind that there is no place to search for help except to Him. Well done. Good luck in the contest.
Blessings,
Tom

Thanks, Tom. I think when people don't believe or turn away from God, He says, "Okay, try it your way and see where that gets you." I think this country, in large portion, has done that, and now we see where we're at. We need and old school revival or judgment day will surely come. Its time for our leaders to return to the God-fearing principles that founded this country. We can only pray that that will happen. As always, I appreciate the review. Blessings to you.

It's always both enlightening and interesting to read a personal account of what Faith means and such is the case here in this entry for the My Faith contest - convincing and inspiring especially the closing sentence,

Comment from mermaids
Yes, God did give so much for us and all we have to do is follow Him. Jesus did open the door to heaven. I enjoyed reading your faith based essay in which you describe the main point of Christianity. Excellent writing that is to the point and speaks to the reader.

Comment from Sharon Elwell
This piece gives a clear and simple explanation of the Savior's sacrifice for each believer. It emphasizes the eternal nature of that moment in time and its undying significance. Well done!

This is an inspiring piece on faith reminding us all of the sacrifice Jesus made for the world. I could really see just how important faith is to you while reading this piece as well. Good luck in the contest.

Thank you, Jacob. It was a bit of a struggle confining what Christ did for us on the Cross in the 300 words required by the contest. I appreciate your kind words and good luck wish. John
Comment from davisr (Rhonda)
John, this is a beautiful summary of the gift given us on the cross. I don't think I've ever seen it so well described. It was comforting and informative. It was, also, powerful. Thank you for your honest interpretation,
Hugs,
Rhonda
