Greetings JorgeP, I'm a long-time poster on this forum, always glad to hear a new voice, yours included.

What touches me most is this: you testify of the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. There are a lot of other things that replace this testimony: visions, a so-called "oneness" doctrine, various other theologies, various church models, various works, or ministries. All of them can come in and take over.

But the gospel is this: that God raised Jesus on the third day, made him Lord and Christ forever. Either this is real, or it's not. Either you believe, and seek the Spirit behind this bold proclamation, or you don't. God is either real, or God isn't real, and God is either realizable through faith in the crucified, resurrected and ascended Christ, or not. Either Jesus is the Way, or Jesus is not the way.

Everything else follows that, points to it, and nothing supersedes nor replaces it. We love, but we love in faith, and this is our truth in which we love. This is our reality, this is our hope, this is our joy. God raised Jesus from the dead and gave him glory - this is our unwavering beacon, our shining light. It never goes out, it never gets dim.
