A New Apostle’s Creed

I am a Christian, not because I am perfect, but because I am a flawed sinner.

I am a Christian, not because I have all the answers, but because I have none.

I am a Christian, not because I believe Christianity is the only way, but because I believe it is the only way for me.

I am a Christian, not because it makes me better than others, but because my faith makes us all equal in God’s sight.

I am a Christian, not because I can physically see God, but because I have proof of His existence all around me every day.

I am a Christian, not because I wish to offend others, but because I wish to live in peace with them.

I am a Christian, not because I am forced to be, but because I cannot accept a reality apart from God and Jesus.

I am a Christian, not because I blindly accept everything I’m taught, but because my faith gives me the capacity to think and challenge the status quo.

I am a Christian, not because my spiritual journey is complete, but because it has just begun.
