My faith
This is my position.
I believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and I am convinced that the Bible is true. This is not merely a worldview I have chosen—it is a conviction that has grown through spiritual experiences, lived experience, reason, and evidence, and that has been confirmed through life and fruit over time.
It has also been strengthened through encounters with healing and deliverance—both in my own life and in the lives of others—in the name of Jesus.
Everything I share on this platform flows from this foundation. For me, this is both a worldview and a testimony.
Experience as the starting point
My conviction did not begin with theology, biblical knowledge, or intellectual arguments. It began with experience.
I had spiritual experiences with God before I had any real familiarity with the Bible. I experienced God’s presence, the weight of conscience, inner conviction, correction, and grace—without having the language or theological framework to fully understand it.
Later, when I began reading the Bible, I did not experience a need to adapt my experiences to the text. On the contrary, I experienced that the Bible described and explained the experiences I had already had. What had been real but unclear was given language and coherence.
This order—experience before explanation—was decisive for me.
Logic and coherence
My faith does not stand in opposition to reason. It has grown in dialogue with reflection and logical evaluation of reality.
Questions such as:
- why something exists rather than nothing
- why human beings possess conscience and moral responsibility
- why we seek truth, meaning, and justice
- why guilt and the need for grace are universal experiences
have, for me, found a coherent and comprehensive explanation within a Christian worldview.
Faith has not appeared as an escape from reason, but as the explanation that best corresponds with both the depth of life and the complexity of reality.
Indications in reality
I see clear indications in reality that point toward God.
Humanity’s innate understanding of right and wrong, the longing for meaning and purpose, the experience of responsibility, guilt, and the need for reconciliation—these are not merely random byproducts of biology. To me, they appear as traces of something greater than ourselves, and as signs of a personal and moral origin.
These indications align with what the Bible describes about humanity and reality.
The credibility of the Bible and evidence
For me, the Bible has proven to be more than a religious text. It presents itself as a coherent historical testimony, rooted in time, place, and real events.
My conviction has been strengthened through:
- the Bible’s internal consistency over long periods of time
- its historical and geographical grounding
- archaeological findings that correspond with biblical accounts
- the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus understood as historical events
Over time, the Bible has shown itself to correspond with reality as I experience it—historically, humanly, and spiritually.
Faith in practice
For me, Christian faith is not limited to what one believes, but is revealed in how one lives.
It involves:
- seeking truth rather than convenience
- taking responsibility for one’s choices
- living with a functioning conscience
- turning away from sin and evil
- striving to do good to others, even when it costs
I am not without fault. But I live with an awareness that my life does not belong to me alone, and that one day I will be held accountable for how I have lived it.
A conscious testimony
This is not intended to be a neutral position.
It is a conscious stand.
I do not expect everyone to agree.
But neither am I willing to hide what I am convinced is true.
Everything I share on this platform—through the journal, reflections, and the work I do—flows from this foundation. For me, this is both a worldview and a testimony.
