Foundational truths in the Bible

God

There is one eternally existing God who has three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. He is the Creator of all that exists, both visible and invisible, and is therefore worth of all glory and praise. god is perfect in love, power, holiness, goodness, knowledge, wisdom, justice, and mercy. He is unchangeable and therefore is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

The Church

The Church is meant to be the visible body of Christ, sent in to the world to glorify god and proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ and His Kingdom. As the church, every believer is an ambassador of the Kingdom of God.

Revelation

God has revealed Himself to us through His Son, Jesus Christ, who is the visible image of the invisible God, the Holy Scriptures, and through all of creation itself.

Mankind

Humans, both male and female, were created in God’s image for His glory. The first humans, Adam and Eve, were created without sin and appointed as Kings to oversee God’s creation and spread His glory throughout the Earth.

The Fall

When Adam and Even chose not to obey God, they ceased to be what they were made to be and became distorted images of God. This caused them to fall out of fellowship with God and fractured all of creation ever since that time. Adam and Ever surrendered their crowns.

Salvation

Jesus Christ came to reconcile us with God and one another, and thus relaunch the Kingdom of God on Earth. He lived a life without sin and willingly died on the cross to pay the penalty of our transgressions. God raised him from the dead and now, by grace, offers as a free gift eternal life to all who follow Christ, by faith, as the Lord and Savior. That is why salvation can be found in Christ alone.

Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Trinity sent to regenerate mankind and fill us with power to witness for Jesus. The fruits and gifts of the Holy Spirit are critical to believers spreading God’s glory round the Earth.

Resurrection

Jesus Christ is returning one day to judge both the living and the dead and to usher in the fullness of God’s Kingdom on earth.
