First of all, God is awesome. His unconditional love is amazing. The fact that he heals the broken, gives strength to the weak, seeks after the lost, restores the fallen, and forgives the sinner is beyond our understanding. All we can do and all we long to do is worship him.
Now, more great God-truths:
- God talks to us. We believe the Bible to be God’s message to us. God guided the human authors as they wrote. Since the Bible is inspired by God it is therefore fully trustworthy. Everything we teach and believe must be from the Bible.
- God is three-in-one-ness. We believe that there is one God, who exists in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. God is all-powerful, just, loving, and always pursuing us for a loving relationship with him.
- Jesus really is God, and died for us. We believe that Jesus Christ is God, who came to us as a man. He lived a sinless life and died in our place, for our sins, so that we could be clean before God and free from the absolute power of the Devil. He also rose from the dead to defeat death and make a way to heaven for all who believe in him. God demonstrated his love for us by sending his Son Jesus to die for us.
- In Jesus, we will live forever. We believe that those who believe in Jesus are given a new life, and have the hope of eternal life. The Holy Spirit enters into their life and enables them to live a godly life.
- Death is coming, so we gotta believe. Everyone dies. We believe that those who have trusted in Jesus in this life will live forever in heaven with God in perfect joy. Those who have rejected Jesus or who have never believed in him will live forever in hell, separated from God. Their experience will be absolutely awful - what the Bible calls a “weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
- Yes, Jesus is the only way to heaven. We believe that no one can go to heaven but by faith in Jesus. A person cannot do enough good works, or be more good than bad, or sincerely believe in another faith. Jesus is the only way to God and his arms are open to all, that all might believe and find forgiveness and eternal life.
