What We Believe
|
Statement of Faith |
|
We
believe that the Bible is God’s word to human beings. It tells us who
God is, who we are and what the relationship is and should be between
us. Specifically, it says that: |
-
God is the Designer and Creator of the universe. He is a personal God
and cares about the people he has made.
-
Jesus Christ is God. He has always existed, but became man and lived
on earth to show us what God is like. He lived a perfect life in which
he brought forgiveness, comfort and healing to those in need.
-
Jesus died for all people. His death was not an accident, but a
voluntary sacrifice in which He took the punishment for our
wrongdoing.
-
Jesus Christ
is alive today. Three days after his death, Jesus lived again and
was seen by many witnesses before returning to heaven, where He
lives as Lord and Saviour of His people.
-
We can be
forgiven for all our wrong. Forgiveness and eternal life are a
gift to those who will admit they have “sinned” (done wrong) and
place their confidence in Jesus Christ as their Saviour, and in
his death as being the only basis of being right with God.
-
Those who commit themselves to Jesus Christ become members of God’s
family. We are motivated to lead clean and honest lives by an
appreciation of Christ’s love for us. The Holy Spirit directs us and
gives us the ability to live this new kind of life.
-
Jesus Christ is coming back again for his followers. Ultimately, all
people must stand before God. Depending upon their response to Christ
in this life, people will either experience a painful terrible
separation from God forever, or the joy of life with God for eternity.
