A Thanksgiving Confession of Faith

One of the ways in which I try to make worship a bit more interesting and meaningful is by occasionally writing confessions of faith related to the themes or holidays being celebrated in worship on particular days. Here's one I composed for tonight's Thanksgiving Eve worship service.

We believe in the God Who gives every good and perfect gift.

We believe in God the Father, Who created the universe, and gives us life.

We believe in God the Son, Jesus Christ, Who has entered our world incarnated in human flesh, so that He could give His life on a cross, the perfect offering for our sin, and so that He could rise from the dead, opening forgiveness and eternity to all who entrust their lives to Him.

We believe in God the Holy Spirit, Who even today, calls, gathers, enlightens, and sanctifies a people devoted to the God definitively revealed in Christ.

We believe that all who follow Christ will spend eternity with God, thanksgiving ever on their lips and always in their hearts. Amen
