What a glorious time of the year – as we reflect on the event that changed world history – the birth of Jesus. An appropriate season for believers to re-affirm their faith – and for those not yet convinced to think about ‘seriously looking into it’.
Here’s a ‘personal creed’ to consider, and perhaps even adopt, this Christmas-time:
I believe in Jesus Christ, and in the wonder of the Gospel which broke into the world at Bethlehem.
I believe in the One who dignified an obscure town in Judea, and who brings transformation to people the world over.
I believe in the One who found no room in the crowded inn – sadly reflecting that often my heart excludes Him from my life.
I believe in the One whose cradle was a cattle trough, whose life was lived among ordinary people, and who was largely ignored by earth’s rulers and celebrities.
I believe in the One who proclaimed the invincible love of God, who looked at people with eyes of compassion, and who lifted human weakness up to meet the strength of God.
I believe in my need – of God’s mercy & grace; of forgiveness for my selfishness and greed; of new life in my empty soul; of His burning love whenever my heart grows cold.
I believe in a God who gave the very best – His only Son – for me, for you and for the whole world…
Have a wonder-filled Christmas !
Yes I believe. I am sorry you had to go through all that suffering because of my sins, and I ask Your forgiveness Lord,for whenever I am too busy to thank You for all that you have done for me.
I believe in God who gave the very best to all living things in this world. I believe this gift of Jesus, born in Bethlehem on Christmas Day, was sent to humanity, to guide our lives with love.
Thank you Alec, it is beautiful. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
You have really brought home to me the true meaning of Christmas with these acclamations.

a beautiful creed, not only for Christmas with reverence, humility, and deep love. Thank you. I love the “spirit” in which you wrote. It is time.
Such meaningful words you’ve “penned” here!
All too often I “crowd” Him out of my life. “Forgive me in my weaknesses Lord …”
I believe……… I’m sorry Jesus you had to go through all that because of my sins.
I believe … amen.
