Hi, I'm Jess. Originally from NY, but now living in Maryland. For fun I like to create content. My favorite book is probably the book of John and proverbs.

I think this means living out the faith God has put inside you. We’re not earning salvation—we’re proving its reality through obedience, love, holiness, and perseverance.

I think denominations are part of Satan's plan to divide the Church. I believe that it's about having a relationship with Jesus rather than organized religion.

@Josh Shelton Thank you for sharing those verses — I completely agree that Scripture shows the importance of fellowship and gathering with other believers. Sound doctrine is important, but the heart of it all is knowing the person of Jesus Christ and walking in His truth (John 17:3). Being around other believers strengthens us and helps build one another up in love (1 Thessalonians 5:11). My concern is that denominations, and even the Catholic Church at times, can place heavy emphasis on rules, rituals, or works, which shifts the focus away from the simplicity of salvation by grace through faith in Christ alone (Ephesians 2:8–9). This can become divisive rather than unifying. Scripture reminds us that “There is one body and one Spirit… one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all” (Ephesians 4:4–6). That unity is only found in Jesus, not in man-made systems.
