Basics of Faith
One God - Three Persons: Father, Jesus the Son, and Holy Spirit
The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit have always existed as One. (Genesis 1:26, Luke 3:21-22, 2 Corinthians
13:14, Ephesians 2:18, John 1:1-4)
Salvation: Jesus is the Way
We can only be saved through believing and accepting Jesus and His sacrifice for our sins. This frees us from eternal death
and suffering. Jesus rose on the third day and lives now forever more. At the end of time, all will rise from the dead to
face judgment. (John 3:16, Romans 6:23, John 14:6, Revelations 20:12)
Heaven and Hell: Eternal Realities
Heaven is the place of eternal life where believers dwell in peace with God; hell is the place of eternal misery where
those who don’t believe in Christ dwell. (Luke 16:23, Mark 9:43, Revelations 20:15, Revelations 21:1-4)
The Bible: Inspired Word of God
The Scriptures were written by humans under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. They are God words
to us. (2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:20-21)
The Great Commission: Our Journey while we wait!
When Jesus returned to Heaven He left us with a job to do, to make disciples of all people and nations. (Matthew
28:19, Mark 16:15, Luke 10:2-3, Acts 1:8)
