about God: He is God
and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three personalities:
the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ) and the Holy Spirit. These three
are equal and are one God.
Genesis 1:1, 26-27; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19; John 1:1-5; 2 Corinthians
13:14; 1 Peter 1:2
about Jesus Christ: Jesus
Christ is the Son of God. He is equal with the Father. Jesus lived a
sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for
the sins of all people by dying on the cross. He rose from the dead
on the third day to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended
to Heaven’s glory and will return again someday to reign as King
of kings and Lord of lords.
Isaiah 9:6; Matthew 1:22-23; John 1:1-5, 14:10-30; Acts 1:9-11; Romans
1:3-4;1 Corinthians 15:3, 4; 1 Timothy 6:14-15; Titus 2:13; Hebrews
4:14-15
about the Holy Spirit:
The Holy Spirit is equal with the Father and the Son of God, Jesus Christ.
He is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus.
He also lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation and provides
Christians with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth,
and guidance in doing what is right. He gives every believer a spiritual
gift or gifts when they are saved. As Christians we must seek to live
under His control daily.
John 16:7-13, 14:16-17; Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 2:12, 3:16; 2 Corinthians
3:17; Galatians 5:25; Ephesians 1:13, 5:18
about the Bible: The
Bible is a love letter from God to man. Human authors, under the supernatural
guidance of the Holy Spirit, wrote it. It is the supreme source of truth
for Christian belief and living. God inspired it; therefore it is truth
without any mixture of error from Genesis to Revelation.
Psalm 12:6, 119:105, 160; Proverbs 30:5; 2 Timothy 1:13, 3:16; 2
Peter 1:20-21
about Human Beings: People
are made in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character.
People are the supreme object of God’s creation. Although every
person has tremendous potential for good, all of us are marred by an
attitude of disobedience toward God called “sin”. This attitude
separates us from God and causes many problems in life.
Genesis 1:27; Psalm 8:3-6; Isaiah 53:6a; Romans 3:23
about Salvation: Salvation
is God’s free gift to us but we must accept it. We can never make
up for our sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in
the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ can anyone be saved
from the penalty of sin. The penalty of sin is death, which is eternal
separation from God. Eternal life begins the moment that one receives
Jesus Christ into their life through faith.
John 1:12, 14:6; Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5
about Eternity: People
were created to exist forever. We will either exist eternally separated
from God by sin, or with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be
eternally separated from God is Hell. To be eternally in union with
God is Heaven. Heaven and Hell are real places of eternal existence.
Daniel 12:2; Isaiah 26:19; Matthew 25:41;
Luke 16:19-31; John 3:16, 5:28-29, 14:17;
Romans 6:23, 8:17-18; 2 Peter 3:10-13; Revelation 7:9-17,
