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. References: Gen 1:1,26,27;Ex3:14; Ps.90:2;Matt 28:19;John 8:57,58; IPeter 1:2; IICor.13:14

ABOUT JESUS CHRIST

Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-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 a cross. He arose from the dead after three (3)days to demonstrate his power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven’s glory and will return again someday to earth to reign as King of Kings, and Lord of Lords. References: Matt.1:22,23; Is.9:6; Jn1:1-5, 14; I Cor.15:3-8;Rom.1:3,4; Acts 1:9-11; I Tim 6:13-16; Titus 2:11-14

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 power of living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. As Christians we seek to live under his control daily. Every believer has at least one spiritual gift. References: IICor. 3:17-18; John 16:7-15;14:16-17,25-26; Acts 1:18; I cor. 2:12; 3:16; Gal 5:25; Eph 1:13, 5:18

ABOUT THE BIBLE

The Bible is God’s Word to us. It was written by human authors, 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 of error. References: II Tim 3:15-16; II Pet. 1:20,20,21; Ps. 12:6; 119:11,105,140,142,144,151,160; Proverbs 30:5

 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 (sin) that separates people from God and causes many problems in life. References: Gen. 1:26-28; ps. 8:3-6; Is. 53:6; 59:1,2; Rom. 3:23
