“I believe in God, the Almighty, Jesus his
son, born of the Virgin Mary. Jesus was
born in human form and lived and died as a human.
Jesus was crucified and gave his life for us.
He was sinnless and God raise him from death
to be the only Judge of us.
Jesus preached to all — good, bad, poor, sick
believers and non-believers. He heald the sick
and forgave sinners.
He believed all people equal, men, women, and all
races and creeds.
He asks us to live in peace + love each other as
He loves us all.
He asks us to pray for ourselves, other who stray,
for the sick, for him to have mercy on us all.
He asks us to live our lives serving him +
the Trinity.
God is the director of our lives and all that we do.
By our free acts, we need to be obedient in our worship
and service to him.
His life, as supported by the Old Testament writings,
is recorded by the New Testament witnesses of the
Apostles.
By his gift of Grace we will be forgiven of our sins
and be made whole
thru salvation and Faith we will be made acceptable
for the life hereafter — eternal life.
In God’s Name! — Amen! R A Little

This is a copy of my grandpa’s statement of faith read at the memorial service. I will be framing this and hanging it in my house. He has certainly entered into his eternal rest, for which I am so grateful, though it hurts to have lost his presence here on earth.
