Sovereign God
God is a Person, eternally existing, as a Trinity in unity -
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, - three Persons and yet one God.
(Deuteronomy 6:4, Matthew 26:19, I Corinthians 8:6)
Son of God
Jesus Christ, eternally existing, is the only begotten Son of
God, who became a sinless man to redeem us. He was born of a virgin
and is true God and true man. (Luke 1:30-55, John 1:1-15, Philip
2:5-8)
Spirit of God
The Holy Spirit is equal with God the Father and God the Son. He
is present in the world to convict of sin, of righteousness, and of
judgment to come. He lives in every Christian from the moment of
salvation and provides the Christian with power for living. (John
14:16-17,26; 16:7-14; Romans 8:14-16).
Service
The local church is a group of believers baptised by water,
banded together for edification, exhortation, and evangelism as
commanded by Christ in the Great Commission; preaching the Gospel to
every creature. (Mark 16:15, I Corinthians 12:12, Ephesians 1:22-23)
Sin
Man was created in the image of God but fell through sin,
bringing not only physical death, but also spiritual death or
eternal separation from God. Now all of mankind exists as a fallen
race with an inherited sinful nature. (Genesis 2:16, Genesis
3:16-19, Romans 3:10-23, Romans 6:23)
Sacrifice
The Lord Jesus Christ suffered and died as a substitutionary
payment for the sins of the whole world. He physically arose from
the dead and then ascended into Heaven. Simple faith in this
sacrifice is the only way of salvation for mankind. (Luke 24, Acts
1:9-11, Romans 5:8-10, I Peter 3:18)
Jesus Christ
Himself will soon come again in the air to catch up His Church to
reward their service. The unbelievers left behind will go through a
period called the Tribulation, after which Christ will return to the
Earth to set up His Kingdom of one thousand years of righteous rule.
After this the unbelievers of all ages will stand at the Great White
Throne to be judged and cast into the Lake of Fire, separated from
God forever, while the believers spend eternity in the fullness of
joy in Heaven with the Lord. (Matthew 24:29-42, 1 Thessalonians
4:16-18, Revelation 19:11-20:13)
