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.

 

 

Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father. Jesus lived a sinless 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, thus demonstrating His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven’s glory and will return again one day to judge the living and the dead.

 

 

The Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the Son of God. He is present in the world to make people aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation in fellowship with us. He provides those Christians who seek Him, the power for living, understanding spiritual truth and guidance in doing what is right.

 

 

The Bible is God’s Word to us. It was written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for a Christian’s belief and living. Because it is inspired by God, it is without error.

 

It is precisely the same as stated by Jesus in Matt. 28:19-20. “Make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” Our commitment to expand the church is reflected by outreach in every ministry.

 

People are made in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character. Every person has worth as a creation of God. People have a tremendous potential for good, but all of us are marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God called “sin.” This attitude separates people from God. The influence of sin in this world causes many problems in life.

 

 

Salvation is God’s gift from God to humanity. We can never make up for our sins by any amount of good works or self-improvement. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God’s offer of forgiveness can anyone be saved from sin’s penalty, which is separation from God. Those who turn to Jesus in faith should turn away from sin, confess their faith, and be baptized into Him.

 

 

There is only one Church in the Bible. It is of no denomination. It is Christ’s Church and wears His name. Therefore, we are baptized into Christ, and He makes us citizens in the Kingdom of God. The church exists on the earth to share God’s message and love with the lost and to help people live quality lives now and forever.

 

 

People were created to exist forever. We will exist eternally separated from God by sin, or in union with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is Hell. To be eternally with Him is Heaven.

 

 

Before Jesus left the earth He promised to return. Someday Jesus Christ will return to earth and reign forever as King of Kings. The only reason Jesus has not yet returned is that He is patient with people and not willing that any should be lost, for when He returns He comes as King and Judge of the earth.
