Statement of Faith

Tuesday, 17 August 2010 11:46

The Holy Bible is the inspired infallible Word of God. The Bible is the sole authority of living. The truths contained within the sixty-six books of the Old Testament and the New Testament is relevant in all matters of life and faith. There is one Triune God, eternally existing in three persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit. They are co-eternal in being, co-identical in nature and co-equal in power and authority.

The Lord Jesus Christ is fully God and man. He is the only begotten Son of God, was born of the Virgin Mary and dwelled sinless among men in order that God’s righteousness and man’s sinfulness may be revealed. Man was created in the image of God and endowed with dignity. However, man has fallen and is inherently sinful. He is alienated from God, spiritually dead and in dire need of redemption. The substitution and vicarious death of Christ through the shedding of his blood is the basis for man’s atonement and salvation from sin. This act of redemption was completely accomplished through the death, burial, and bodily resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Salvation is a free gift from God brought to man entirely by grace through personal faith in the person and works of the Lord Jesus Christ. Once a person has acknowledged Jesus Christ as the Savior and Lord of his life, and through the power of the Holy Spirit who dwells in him, he is tasked to live a life of holiness, in fellowship with other believers, in love, unity and in accordance to the teachings of God’s Word, anticipating the return of Christ.
