 ** Foundation of our Faith ...** ** Foundation of our Faith ...**
  
 +The foundation of faith comes from what Jesus said and did. He himself is our fundament of
 +faith. It is God in father, son and holy spirit. 
  
 +You can start to dig into the foundation of faith. It is based on the biblical texts, and they
 +are based on the experiences of the apostles. Heaven and earth come together here. God wants to
 +be with you, to heal you, to free you, to reconcile you. God wants you to base your life on 
 +him, on the eternal God, on nothing less. 
  
 +This now brings both things together. The foundation of our life should be God, it should be
 +father, son and holy spirit. It should be Jesus - the son of God. Only here we find a basis which
 +is made to be one. He came to die for you and for me. He came to reconcile, to heal. He came to
 +free us, to be fully human, in full faith and trust. Here, with him, we find our humanity! Here,
 +with him, we find life, eternal life!
