. . . about God
He is the Creator and ruler of the universe. He
has eternally existed in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (commonly referred to as the Trinity). The
three are co-equal, yet one God.
. . . about Jesus
Christ
He is the Son of God and co-equal with the Father. Jesus came down to earth
as a man and lived a sinless life, offering Himself as the perfect sacrifice and atonement for the sins of the world. He died
on the cross, rose from the dead and is now seated on the right hand of God. One day, he will return again and establish himself
as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
.
. . about the Holy Spirit
He is the spirit of God and co-equal with the Father.
Also known as the paraclete, he is the helper and ever present spirit of the Father in the world today. He lives in the hearts
of believeing men and women and provides the necessary power for living, understanding spiritual truths and guidance. The
Holy Spirit also convicts people of their sin and their need for God.
. . . about the Bible
The Bible is God's inspired Word to us. It was written
by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit and is infallible and completely trustworthy as the Word
of God. It is the source of guidance and faith for our daily lives.
. . . about people
Men and women are made in the image of God and
are the supreme object of God's creation. Although they were created blameless, all were marred by an attitude of disobedience
toward God, called 'sin.' Sin separates people from a relationship with God.
. . . about salvation
Salvation is available to everyone
if they accept Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. No one can earn their way to heaven. Rather, it is a free gift
from God that requires faith in Christ.
.
. . about eternity
People were created to exist forever. While our
physical bodies may die, our spiritual souls will remain forever. People who accept God in their earthly lives will be in
His presence forever - heaven. Those who did not put their faith in Christ will be forever separated from God - hell.
