A Testament

Testament

I am a Christian and I am a sinner. For the first I have not been the best, for the second I am shamed. I am not ashamed of being Christian, a fact I need to proclaim more often. I am ashamed of being a sinner for I have fallen short.

I have decided recently to try and live a better lifestyle and not shy away from proclaiming my faith in Christ and the Father. I will try and reflect it in all aspect of my life including my writing. Why do I do this? Like my Creator I want to impart of me in my creation like God has done with the beauty of nature and the kindness and of of a gentle soul. I will try to impart what I have gained from the word of God and what it means to me.

The word of God, The Bible, I will try to understand more with the help of the spirit and teachings of the Lord, Jesus. I will seek the parable, the understanding and with it direct my thought.

Many of us read the Bible and take it at face value. Can we when the Lord spoke in parables to his disciples and with good reason. He did it to show how to interpret Gods word and with the gift of the Holy Counselor the Word was understood and spread to others so they maybe saved as well through understanding and guidance. I see now why one should seek the word of understanding for without it the world crushes us with ignorance and heaven is Lost to us.

So when don't just read the Bible seek to understand, seek the spirit. Even the prophets of old spoke in away that is a mystery to those without understanding. Much off the Bible is Allegorical, Symbolic, and is filled with simile. Seek the Spirit and through it the peace and understanding.
