…the
Bible is the Word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit and without
error (II Timothy 3:16).
In it, God has revealed Himself to us and tells us all we need to know for
salvation. Everything it teaches is to be believed,
everything it commands is to be obeyed, and everything it promises is to
be trusted (Romans 3:4). …God
is a Triune God; God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit
(Matthew 28:19).
He is the sovereign Lord of heaven and earth. He
created the world and all it contains in six, 24 hour days (Exodus 20:11).
The ultimate purpose of God's creation is the revelation of His glory.
He rules over all in heaven and on earth, over the Devil and all
the angels (I Chronicles 29:11). God providentially sustains His
creation and governs it according to His good pleasure. …God
is sovereign in salvation (Hebrews 12:2).
Because God is holy and righteous, He punishes every sin. We,
who are born dead in sin and are guilty before God, are saved only by His
grace (Ephesians 2:1-8).
He has chosen a people from eternity to be saved in the blood of
His Son, Jesus Christ (Ephesians 1:4,5).
He regenerates our hard hearts through the Holy Spirit (John
3:3-8).
He gives us faith to believe the gospel (Ephesians 2:9).
He continues this saving work by giving us daily the grace to serve
Him in all of our life.
He preserves us in our salvation (John 10:27-29). …God
is a God of love, and demonstrates it through the death of
Christ on the cross (Romans 5:8).
By suffering and dying on the cross, Jesus endured the eternal punishment
which His people deserved. The Son of God in human flesh paid
for the sins of His people, arose from the dead, and now reigns in heaven
(Romans 4:25). …Jesus is coming again to be the judge of the living and dead (II Timothy 4:1). Those who believe in Him will dwell with Him forever in heaven; and those who do not believe in Him will suffer God’s just and eternal wrath in hell (Revelation 20:11-15). |
