Statements of Faith
We Believe:
- The Bible (Genesis through Revelation) was given under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and is the inerrant Living Word of God. (2 Tim. 3:16)
- YHVH, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, is the Eternal One, Creator of all things, and the One True God. (Ex. 3:6, Deut. 33:27, Isa. 40:28)
- The Lord God is one in Unity (Echad). God’s nature as a complex unity is revealed throughout Scripture. As the Hebrew prayer (the Sh’ma) proclaims: “Hear O Israel, the Lord our God is One” (Echad). (Deut. 6:4, Gen. 18) He is one God manifested in three persons, each fully God: the Father, Son (Jesus/Yeshua of Nazareth), and the Holy Spirit. (Gen. 1:26, Isa. 48:16, Joel 2:28-29, John 10:22-30, Acts 2:1-4)
- All of mankind is in need of redemption – the price paid to buy us back and reconcile us to our Heavenly Father. (Isa. 64:6, Rom. 3:23)
- God revealed through His prophets that He Himself would be the Redeemer. (Isa. 54:5)
- Jesus/Yeshua is the promised Messiah/Redeemer, fulfilling perfectly every prophesy concerning His virgin birth, life, death, and resurrection. He is the perfect representation of the Father – the perfect, sinless, and only acceptable atonement for the sins of fallen man. He alone has paid the redemptive price for all who will put their trust in Him. We are “saved” by grace (unmerited favor) unto good works prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. (Is. 53, John 14:9, Eph. 2:8-10)
- He who has the Son has life. He who does not have the Son does not have life. (1 John 5:12)
