The Faith Of A Christian.



Having faith in God is a wonderful gift
And he is the giver of the gift of faith.
Which gives the believer an insight into
The march of time conveying glances of
The future and authorised by God carrying
The truth of his existence and the knowledge
That he is Trinitarian.

Our Father and his eternal being shares
His Word and their Spirit of Love. His
Word being Jesus who became man
Via a Jewish virgin named Mary.
Thus via Jesus we have become
Certain of Gods existence. In fact
He is the source of our redemption
For as St. Paul wrote (Gal 2:20.)‘I
Live by faith in the Son of God, who
Loved me and gave himself for me.’

Which confirms that life is a relationship
With He who is its source and by implication
Faith is trusting in an eternal God whom Jesus
Referred to as Our Father. A father who authorised
His son prior to his death to give himself to us
Under the appearance of bread and wine:
Our beloved Eucharist!
