The Disciples Creed

If Christianity is wrong, then it's unimportant.

If Christianity is right, then it's most important.

One thing Christianity cannot be is just moderately important.

CS Lewis

The Disciples Creed
Adapted by Ray Sammons

1 This is by Bible.

All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. (2Ti 3:16 NLT)

2 I am what is says that I am.

This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun! (2Co 5:17 NLT)

God made the one who did not know sin to be sin for us, so that in him we would become the righteousness of God.(2Co 5:21 NET.)

For all who are led by the Spirit of God are the sons of God. (Rom 8:14 NET.)

3 I can do what it says I can do.

In everything give thanks. For this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. (1Th 5:18 NET.)

My brothers and sisters, consider it nothing but joy when you fall into all sorts of trials, (Jas 1:2 NET.)

"But I say to you who are listening: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. (Luk 6:27-28 NET.)

4 If it teaches anything that I don’t believe, I will change my belief.

For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires. (Heb 4:12 NLT)

5 Having studied it [each time I study it], I don’t ever, ever want to be the same.

Don't change yourselves to be like the people of this world, but let God change you inside with a new way of thinking. Then you will be able to understand and accept what God wants for you. You will be able to know what is good and pleasing to him [and to you] and what is perfect [to him and to you]. (Rom 12:2 ERV)
