ABOUT GOD

God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three personalities: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God.

Genesis 1:1   Psalm 90:2   Matthew 28:19   1 Peter 1:2   2 Corinthians 13:14 

 

ABOUT JESUS CHRIST

Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven's glory and will return again someday to earth to reign as King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.

Matthew 1:22   Isaiah 9:6   John 1:1-5   Hebrews 4:14   1 Corinthians 15:3   Romans 1:3   Acts 1:9-11   1 Timothy 6:14   Titus 2:13 


ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT

The Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the Son of God. He is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. He gives every believer a spiritual gift when they are saved. As Christians, we seek to live under His control daily.

2 Corinthians 3:17   John 16:7-13   Acts 1:8   1 Corinthians 2:12   Ephesians 1:13  Galatians 5:25   Ephesians 5:18 

 

ABOUT THE BIBLE

The Bible is God's Word to us. It was written by human authors, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. Both Old and New Testaments were verbally inspired by God and are a complete revelation of His will for the salvation of mankind. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. Because it is inspired by God, it is the truth without any mixture of error.

2 Timothy 3:16   2 Peter 1:20   2 Timothy 1:13   Psalm 119:105   Proverbs 30:5 

 

ABOUT MAN

People are made in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character. People are the supreme object of God's creation. Although every person has tremendous potential for good, all of us are marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God called "sin". This attitude separates people from God and causes many problems in life and ultimately results in spiritual and physical death.

Genesis 1:27   Psalm 8:3-6   Isaiah 53:   Romans 3:23   Isaiah 59:1  

 

ABOUT SALVATION

Salvation is God's free gift to us but we must accept it. We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God's offer of forgiveness can anyone be saved from sin's penalty. When we turn from our self-ruled life and turn to Jesus in faith we are saved. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his life by faith.

Romans 6:23   Ephesians 2:8   John 14:6   Titus 3:5  

 

ABOUT HOLINESS

God's plan for His sons and daughters is that we would be filled with His Holy Spirit and dedicated to His purposes. We should be transformed in our lives by God's Word and His Spirit. This enables us to live godly lives and engage in effective service. This process of becoming more and more like Jesus is called "sanctification", and is both immediate and progressive as the Holy Spirit works through us, fitting us for heaven.

1 Thess. 5:23 Acts 1:8   Romans 6:1-4  Gal. 3:26   Rom. 5:1 

 

ABOUT THE CHURCH

The "Church" consists of every person who has believed in Jesus Christ. Christ is the Head of the Body, the Church, and has commissioned her to go everywhere throughout the world in order to share the Good News of salvation!

The Local Church is a group of believers gathered together to worship God, Grow through the Word of God, for prayer, mutual encouragement, preaching of God's Word, observing the Lord's Supper and Baptism, and to transform their community and world through mission.

 

ABOUT ETERNITY

People were created to exist forever. We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin, or eternally with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is Hell. To be eternally in union with Him is eternal life. Heaven and Hell are real places of eternal existence.

John 3:16   John 14:17   Romans 6:23   Romans 8:17-18   Revelation 20:15   1 Cor. 2:7-9 

ABOUT THINGS TO COME

Just as Jesus rose from the dead and ascended into heaven, He will come again! The Second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ is imminent, which means it could happen at any time. He will also come back in the same way He left, which was personal and visible. His return will transpire in order to establish the millennial kingdom upon the earth. This our hope, and incentive to live a godly life and share the Good News of the King!

Hebrews 10:37   Luke 21:27   Titus 2:11-14
