5. I believe that GOD is the Sovereign uncreated Creator of all that has been created.
6. I believe that GOD, existing as three Persons, is infinitely and eternally worthy of all our worship, praise, thanksgiving, love, trust, faith, and fear. This is true regardless of our mood or life situation. We are called to an everlasting preoccupation with GOD - A. W. Tozer
7. I believe that GOD is sovereign, holy, loving, righteous, just, forgiving, faithful, trustworthy, all knowing, eternal, infinite, all powerful, merciful, full of grace, unchanging, always good, always right, everywhere all the time, self-existing, and self-sustaining.

I believe that He was an excellent student.
18. I believe that JESUS voluntarily allowed Himself to be arrested, beaten, convicted, and crucified for the purpose of providing forgiveness of sins, deliverance from sin, a holy purpose, access to The FATHER, and everlasting life for all who, through faith and by grace, would believe in, trust in, rely on, love, worship, and obey Him as Savior and Lord.
19. I believe that JESUS came out of the tomb alive. He resurrected from the dead in bodily form and He is alive today. He is now at the right-hand of GOD The FATHER interceding on behalf of all people who have chosen to believe in, trust in, rely on, love, worship, and obey Him as Savior and Lord.

42. I believe that every human being should make it their primary daily and lifelong goal to please GOD and that without faith it is not possible to please GOD.
43. I believe that confession of sin without repentance is very near to being pointless and that repentance without at least a degree of remorse is questionable in its sincerity.

65. I believe that being respected is something that must be earned and maintained by living a life of consistent integrity, purity, and kindness.
66. I believe that wealth, authority, prestige, intelligence, talent, confidence, and fame are only tools. By themselves they are absolutely powerless. They can be used for good or evil. They all can be used as powerful tools to advance the Gospel of JESUS CHRIST and bring glory to GOD. They all can also be tremendous distractions and are frequently used as bait by satan to entice individuals and humanity as a whole to walk down the path to eternal destruction and Hell.
67. I believe that my failures are not GOD’s fault.
68. I believe that to be called a hypocrite must rank among the worst insults you can call a Christian. To me it is the worst insult.
69. I believe that some people who profess to be followers of JESUS CHRIST are brutally obnoxious, are consistently unloving, and extremely un-Christ-like in their behavior. Though I make an honest attempt to avoid it, I am afraid that there are times that I am one of those people. GOD, forgive me!
70. I believe that unless JESUS returns beforehand someday I will die.
71. I believe that there is a day in the future that JESUS will return to Earth to claim His own, to judge the world, and to reign as King of kings and Lord of lords over His eternal kingdom. I believe that today could be that day.
