Trust God & His Word

What God says is important!
I used to have an old bumper sticker that said:

God said it,
that settles it.
I believe it.

It started out that the "I believe it" was in the middle but a Pastor friend (Thanks Tommy) pointed out to me that my belief had no bearing on the statement so I corrected it to read as above.
 
My belief allows me to enjoy the blessings & benefits of what God has said and that God given to all who believe.
We are lost because we have not believed.
or
We are 'saved' because we have by the grace of God believed.
"He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." John 3:18

Look at the context, look at the verb tenses, look at the biblical meaning of words and judge all your experiences and ideas by what God says; don't bend it to make it fit your feelings or what some book or person said.
Put your thinking in the right order!
What God says is settled; it is truth!
