THE FOUNDATION OF=OUR CHRISTIAN FAITH

 

Our Holy Father God LOVES US=and he FORGIVES US=that is

THE FOUNDATION OF=OUR CHRISTIAN FAITH=and that is

WHY THE Father=Sent his Son Jesus Christ=Into the world=to

FORGIVE US=”Go=and from now on=DO NOT sin any more”                           John 8:1:11

God made us=TO LOVE US=and for us=to love him back=

UNFORTUNATELY=many of us=Don’t do that=Or LOVE OUR NEIGHBOR

 

That is=THE FOUNDATION OF=OUR CHRISTIAN FAITH=to love God=and to

LOVE OUR NEIGHBOR=”So this is what=The Sovereign Lord says’=’See

I lay a stone=in Zion=a tested stone=a precious cornerstone=for a

SURE FOUNDATION=

The one who=Relies on it=will never be=Stricken with panic’”                        Isaiah 28:16

 

“For no one=CAN LAY ANY FOUNDATION=Other than the one already

Laid=Which is Jesus Christ”                                                                                              1 Corinthians 3:11

“Consequently you=Are no longer foreigners or strangers=but fellow

Citizens=With God’s people=and also Members=of his household=BUILT

On the FOUNDATION=Of the apostles and prophets=With Christ Jesus

Himself=as the Cornerstone”                                                                                  Ephesians 2:19-20

ALL of us=Christian members of the Church=Have SINNED=in thought=

In Word=and in deed=Our Holy Father God=and our Jesus=Want us to

TURN BACK to them=and LOVE them=and our NEIGHBORS=the FOUNDATION

OF OUR CHRISTIAN FAITH!=READ Chapter 15 of Saint Luke’s gospel=About

OUR HOLY FATHER GOD’S MERCY=He is just WAITING for us=to RETURN

To him=”Nevertheless=GOD’S SOLID FOUNDATION=stands firm=Sealed with

This inscription=’The Lord KNOWS those who are his’=and=’Everyone who

CONFESSES the name of the Lord=must TURN AWAY from wickedness’”  2 Timothy 2:19-20

 

It is TRUE=that God LOVES US=the way we are=but it is also true=that we NEED

To repent=and turn away from evil=and our sinful ways=Don’t REJECT Jesus=and

HIS LOVE and mercy=He CARRIED the CROSS=for all of us=and we need to REACH

To him for= that MERCY=by carrying our OWN CROSSES TOO=by following him=ANOTHER

FOUNDATION=Of OUR CHRISTIAN FAITH

 

And so today=MY BROTHERS and sisters=this LENT=let us EXAMINE=the ways

We have rejected God=Let us all LOVE God=and Love our Neighbor=and LIVE

THIS FOUNDATION of=the Christian faith”=”Test me Lord=and try me=EXAMINE

My heart=and my mind”                                                                                                                     Psalm 26:2

“I the Lord=search the heart=And EXAMINE the mind=to reward each person=

According to their conduct=According to=What their deeds deserve”                Jeremiah 17:10

 

And so dear Lord=as LENT=begins to close=WE ALL=turn back to you=Like

THE PRODIGAL SON=and we say=WE are sorry=for OUR SINS=and that we will

LOVE YOU=and all our BROTHERS and SISTERS=Forever in a day=THROUGH

Out=all of eternity=For that too is=THE FOUNDATION OF=THE CHRISTIAN FAITH!
