Church and Scripture

Church has always been a source of community and salvation in my life. As noted in our textbook, God intended for the world to exist in community and that we seek to love everyone equally. God demands justice as is evident in the promises made with Noah and Abraham in the Old Testament. God calls all of us to respect the lives of other people. The Church and my faith have always remained the sources of these beliefs in my life. Church blends the individual aspect of faith (the relationship between myself and God) and adds a more social aspect where I can share in my faith among other people. Without fear of judgment or ridicule, I can enter Church on Sunday morning, knowing I will become a part of a true faith community based on love and faith.
