What do I believe? In other words, to whom do I entrust my faith? Well that’s a simple question with a complicated answer. I believe in the trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. I know they are always there, not based on the five senses, but on what I know in my heart. Now there are many details to this statement, I cannot just say trinity and be done with it.
Let’s start with our Heavenly Father. He has no gender to our knowledge yet He is known has the Father who guides us and has each one of us in mind. He has a plan for each of us and always keeps his promises. It is written in the Old Testament that He spoke to His people and His enemies. But now he is silent but it does not mean He isn’t there, it’s Him setting everything on faith. He was there when my pets died, He helped me through my grief and to keep going with school and to start realizing I would not see them when I would walk through my home. He still answers our prayers and I know I will one day see him in the heavenly kingdom in all His glory along with all my animals beside me. But I couldn’t go if it weren’t for another.
Second is Jesus, The Father’s only Son. He is the one section of the trinity that my religion (Christianity) is built around. Without Jesus to be sent down to the Jews and Gentiles none of us would be truly saved, the people would listen to the leaders of the temples and fall away from what truly mattered, our salvation. The Jews would still be making sacrifices or fall into other cultural beliefs, Christianity would never exist, civilization would never truly have their sins cleansed, and the now Christians would either be another religion or atheists. Unless of course you count on someone else.
The finishing part of the trinity is the Holy Ghost. This section is a spirit that can take other forms such as doves in common written cases. What I believe about the Ghost now is that it lives in everyone, slowly working us in preparation for Jesus and God and leading us to do God’s will. I believe He works in me so when I am nervous or in need of help he turns my thoughts to God. Now there will always be resistance. I will do things that does not please God and the Ghost will make me seek forgiveness, I do not always especially when I don’t think I did anything wrong. But it never gives up on any of us, not even who we as humanity thought as the worst of us.
In conclusion I entrust my faith in The trinity higher than anything or anyone else. Of corse there is always the chance I’m crazy or just wrong. But isn’t that what faith is, throwing yourself into something that doesn’t entirely make sense. But, unlike others with my religion, I do respect other beliefs. I am not comfortable forcing my religion on others and am happy to talk about other religions. Everyone has that freedom in America and I hope everyone takes advantage of said freedom.
