About God
God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God.
Genesis 1:1,26,27; 3:22
About The Bible
The Bible is God's Word to all people. It was written by human authors under the super natural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. Because it is inspired by God, it is truth without any mixture of error.
2 Timothy 3.16; 2 Peter 1.20-21; 2 Timothy 1.13; Psalm 119:105,160; Proverbs 30:5
About Man
Man is made in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character. He is the supreme object of God's creation. Although man has tremendous potential for good, he is marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God called "sin". This attitude separates man from God.
Genesis 1.27; Psalm 8:3-6; Isaiah 52:6a; Romans 3:23; Isaiah 59:1-2
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 men by dying on the
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 to earth to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
Matthew 1.22,23; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1-5; 14:10-30; Hebrews 4:14,15;
1 Corinthians 15.3,4; Romans 1:3,4; Acts 1:9-11; 1 Timothy 6:14,15;
Titus 2:13
About Salvation
Salvation is a gift from God to man. Man
can never make up for his sin by self-improvement or good works.
Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God's offer of forgiveness can
man be saved from sin's penalty. New life begins the moment one
receives Jesus Christ into his life by faith.
Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8,9; John 14:6; 1:12; Titus 3:5; Galatians
3:26; Romans 5:1
About The Holy Spirit
The nine fruit of the Spirit (Gal. 5:22-23) are the by-product of a Spirit-filled life and evidence of spiritual maturity. The nine gifts of the Spirit are different manifestations of the Spirit to build up the body (I Cor. 12:1-11). We are instructed to diligently seek the gifts (I Cor. 12:31, 14:1), but they must be exercised in an orderly way (I Cor. 14:26-33) in the context of love (I Cor. 13:1-13).
