What I believe!
The Holy Bible (with
its 66 books) is inspired by God, and is our only standard for life and
faith.
Jesus Christ is God
in the flesh, by whom God the Father, created all things in whom all things
are held.
The created purpose
of man is to worship God - body, soul and spirit - and to glorify Him with
our life and obedience. Man, who is God's creation, sinned against God,
separating himself from fellowship with God, bringing a curse of death
on himself and on all mankind. Reconciliation with God is made possible
by life changing faith in the work of Jesus Christ.
God sent His Son, Jesus
Christ to earth to redeeme mankind from sin and death, by way of the atonement
he made on the cross of Calvary. God then raised Jesus from the dead, and
gave Him all authority in Heaven and Earth. He is the King of kings and
Lord of lords NOW and FOREVER! Jesus brings to all mankind the Gospel (good
news) that God is now giving His Kingdom to us in the form of the Holy
Spirit sent from Heaven, and we may have it by trusting in Christ and obeying
His word. His sacrifice on our behalf has purchased not only our salvation
and future in heaven; but also, our healing in body, mind and spirit.
The purpose of the
kingdom of God is to manifest the will and glory of God in the earth. The
operation of the kingdom of God is to: worship God and proclaim The Gospel
and his Word throughout the world, and to glorify God by obedience to Him
alone. The kingdom of God is the rule of God in the hearts of those who
love and serve Him. It is resident in us by the indwelling Holy Spirit.
The kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace
and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Christian living is
accomplished through walking in the Spirit and being led by the Spirit
of God. The Holy Spirit is our empowerment for righteousness, our Teacher,
our Comforter, our Guide, and our interceding Advocate.
All Christians are
mandated to participate in the Great Commission, especially in taking the
Gospel to those who have never heard. In this task each believer is either
Sent or a Sender. Senders support those Sent with financial support, prayers
and communicating encouragement.
