faith and our journey: free will and final judgment

 this is what I believe:

• our life/journey is a gift from God.
• each person's life/journey is unique.
• our free will is a gift from God.
• the bible tells us that there will be a final judgment.
• all human beings sin.
• each person's final judgment will be unique.
• Jesus said that more is expected from those who have been given much. (luke 12:48)
• Jesus/God is our Redeemer.
• Jesus tells us that we must love Jesus/God and our neighbor and be sorry for our sins to be saved. 

I believe in God. God has given me great gifts. I have willfully sinned against God and against men and women. I am sorry for my sins. I believe that Jesus is our Redeemer. How will Jesus/God judge me? I don't know. I do know that, while there are many self-proclaimed experts, there is only one true expert--God.

is belief in God the same as faith in God?

no. 

to me belief in God is intellectual. observe. think. where did we come from? where did the universe come from? can something come from nothing? I observe that humans can't create something from nothing. not to mention something of the size, beauty and complexity of the human body and the observable universe. only a Supreme being could be responsible for creating the universe and all that's in it. 

faith, on the other hand, is turning your whole life over to the providence of God. 

I believe in God. my faith is weak. 

faith, hope, love
