The sole basis for our beliefs is in the Bible, which is uniquely God-inspired and the final authority on all matters to which it speaks. As the Scriptures teach, there is one God, Jehovah, Who exists eternally in three Persons known as the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit.
– God created humanity for personal relationship with Him, but the first humans defied God by willfully abusing the trust He placed in them, thus bringing sin into the world. Sin eternally alienates humanity from our Holy Father. The only Hope for reconciliation with God is by making restitution with a sinless sacrifice. Since God alone is sinless, only He could satisfy this debt.
– For this purpose, Jesus Christ, the second Person of the Holy Trinity, was born of a virgin and lived a sinless life on earth. He voluntarily paid for our sins by dying on the cross as our substitute. His death provided salvation and restoration with God for all who believe on Him and receive grace by trusting Him alone. After His death, Christ rose from the dead and ascended to God the Father. Jesus is the only Mediator between God and His people.
– Jesus baptizes people in the Holy Spirit, Whose purpose is to empower us for personal growth, to be examples of Christ and to do the works of ministry. The Holy Spirit serves as our Counselor and Comforter.
– The Church’s role is to glorify God and serve those in need. At the appropriate time in history, God will send Christ a second time. He will redeem those who have believed on Him as Savior, both the living and the dead. His followers will be rewarded with eternal life with the Father for faithfully living for Him while here on earth.
