The Bible is God’s word to all people. It was written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. Since it was inspired by God, the Bible is truth without any mixture of air and is completely relevant to our daily lives.
Deuteronomy 4:1-2, Psalms 119:11; 119:89; 119:105, Isaiah 40:8, Matthew 22:29, John 5:39, 1 Peter 1:25
God has existed in a relationship with Himself for all eternity. He exists as one substance in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Although each member of the Trinity serves different functions, each possesses equal power and authority.
Deuteronomy 6:4, Matthew 28:19, Mark 1:9-11, Hebrews 1:8-10, James 2:19
God is great. He is all powerful, all-knowing, ever-present, unchanging, completely worthy of our trust, and above all, holy. It is in Him that we live, move, and exist. God is good. He is our Father and is loving, compassionate, and faithful to His people and His promises.
Jesus Christ is completely human and at the same time, He is completely God. Jesus is the only plan for bringing people who are far from God back into a right relationship with Him.He lived a perfect life so that He could serve as a substitute for us in satisfying God’s demand for perfection. Through His resurrection, He defeated death so that we can have life.
Isaiah 7:14; 53, Matthew 1:18-23, 3:17, 8:29, 14:35, Luke 22:70, Luke 24:46-47, Romans 3:23-26, Philippians 2:5-11.
The Holy Spirit’s presence assures us of our relationship with Christ. He guards believers into all truth and exalts Christ. He can fix people of their sin, God’s righteousness, and the coming judgment. He comforts us, gives a spiritual gifts, and makes us more like Christ.
Acts 1:8 and Corinthians 3:16
Common man was created to exist forever. He will exist either eternally separated from God or in union with God through forgiveness and salvation by faith.To be eternally separated from God is hell.To be in union with Him is heaven.Both are places of eternal existence.
John 3:16, 3:36, Romans 6:23, 1 John 2:25, 1 John 5:11-13, Revelation 20:15.
Man is made in the image of God and is the supreme object of His creation. He was created to have fellowship with God but through sinful disobedience, became separated.As a result, man cannot attain a right relationship with God through his own effort. Every human personality is uniquely created, possesses dignity, and is worthy of respect and God’s love.
The blood of Jesus Christ, shed on the cross, provides the only way of salvation through the forgiveness of sins. Salvation occurs when people place their faith in the death and resurrection of Christ as sufficient payment for their sins/ trespasses.Salvation is a gift from God, and it cannot be earned through our own efforts.
Ephesians 2:19-22 and Revelations 21:2-3
The Church is a local community of baptized believers, unified through faith in Christ.It is committed to the teachings of Christ, obeying all of His commands, and seeks to bring the gospel to the world.The Church works together in love and unity with other multi-ethnic groups.It pursues the ultimate purpose of glorifying Jesus Christ on the earth and seeks to fulfill the mandate that Jesus declared the Church to fulfill- to be a house of prayer for all nations.
Matthew 16:18-19, Matthew 18:15-20, Acts 2:41-47, Acts 5:11-14, Acts 13:1-3, 1 Corinthians 7:17, 1 Corinthians 9:13-14, Ephesians 1:22-23, Ephesians 2:19 through 22, Ephesians 3:10-12, Colossians 1:18, Colossians 3:15, 1 Peter 5:1-4, revelations 21:2-3
