THE ESSENTIAL BELIEFS

ABOUT GOD

God is the Creator and Ruler of the Universe. He has eternally existed in three personalities: The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God. Genesis 1:1, 26, 27, 3:22; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19; 1 Peter 1:2; 1 Corinthians 13:14.

ABOUT JESUS CHRIST

We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His Virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracle in His atoning death, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, in His person future return to this earth in power and glory to rule a thousand years. Matthew 1:22, 23; Isaiah 9:6, John 1:1-5; Hebrew 4:14, 15; 1 Corinthians 15:3,4; Romans 1:3, 4; Acts 1:9-11; 1 Timothy 6:14, 15; Titus 2:13.

ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT

The Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the Son of God. He is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian from the moment of Salvation. He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of Spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. He gives every believer a spiritual gift. As Christian we seek to live under His control daily.

ABOUT THE BIBLE

The Bible is God’s Word to us. It was written by holy men of God, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian belief and living. Because it is inspired by God, it is the truth without any mixture or error. 2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20, 21; 2 Timothy 1:13; Psalm 119:105, 160; Psalm 12:6; Proverbs 30:5.

ABOUT HUMAN BEINGS

People are made in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character and to have fellowship. But sin has separated people from God and causes many problems in life. Genesis 1:27; Psalm 8:3-6; Isaiah 53:6; Romans 3:23; Isaiah 59:1.

ABOUT SALVATION

Salvation is God’s free gift to human beings who have sinned against God and are under judgement. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God’s offer of forgiveness can anyone be saved and not by self-improvement or good works. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Christ into his life by faith. Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8, 9; John 1:12; Titus 3:5; Galatians 3:26; Romans 5:1.

Before we can answer, “why should we pray,” we must know to whom we pray. There is only one supreme Creator and sovereign God. There is only one way to Him and that is through His only- Son, Jesus Christ. God, our Heavenly Father, is the only one we can be assured of who hears and answers our prayers. He is the God of amazing love, mercy, and forgiveness.

• By Him, all things are possible. Jesus says in Mark 10:27, "Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But not with God. Everything is possible with God."
• Daniel 9:18 tells us: “We do not ask because we deserve help, but because you are so merciful.” (Mercy means showing favor, compassion, and kindness.)
