Wow! Twenty-four
confessions of faith and almost a month later and we have finally made it
through! I wonder, which is the
confession of faith that you struggle most with? Which is the one(s) that you don't
understand?
I know at different periods of my life these do come out
simply as confessions. Perhaps I don't
understand them all, or perhaps I have doubts about some of them at different
periods. Yet confessing these points as
truth helps to bring a sense of stability and faith even in the midst of
busyness, doubts, questions, implications, and orthopraxy (or the living out of
the Gospel as traditionally practiced).
It's important to keep coming back to these confessions and
reading them or speaking about them out loud.
They provide a mirror by which we can see our own thoughts, actions, and
biblical interpretations and see if there is any room for humble questioning or
correction among them. The most important thing to do is to keep coming back to Jesus Christ. He is really what it is all about!
The confessions of faith are beautiful confessions based on
biblical scripture. I hope you enjoyed
these reflections! Moving forward we will be tackling difficult concepts, Scripture passages, and book reviews. Let's keep on sojourning together!
