What We Believe

The Bible 

 LiveByFaith_main
 
The Bible is God’s Word
The Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired and is God’s revelation of Himself to man. It is a perfect treasure of divine instruction. It has God for its author, salvation for its end, and truth, without any mixture of error, for its matter. Therefore, all Scripture is totally true and trustworthy. It reveals the principles by which God judges us, and therefore is, and will remain to the end of the world the true center of Christian union, and the supreme standard by which all human conduct, creeds, and religious opinions should be tried. All Scripture is a testimony to Christ, who is Himself the focus of divine revelation.

God the Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God, fully divine. …He exalts Christ. He convicts men of sin, of righteousness and of judgment. …He enlightens and empowers the believer and the church in worship, evangelism, and service.

 All People Need Salvation
Romans 3:23 says “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”  People have a desperate hole in their life that can only be satisfied by God filling up what is lacking.  
 
All Who Call on Jesus
WIll Be Saved
Romans 10:13 says”everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Total trust in Jesus is how God fills that void.  Jesus  
 
Salvation involves the redemption of the whole man, and is offered freely to all who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, who by His own blood obtained eternal redemption for the believer. In its broadest sense salvation includes regeneration, justification, sanctification, and glorification.
