God

God is the perfect Creator and Ruler of the Universe. He has eternally existed as Father, the Son, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. Genesis 1:1,26-27; 3:22; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19; 1 Peter 1:2; 2 Corinthians 13:14

Jesus Christ

Jesus (a.k.a. “Y’shua,” which means “God is our Salvation”) is both fully human and fully God. Jesus’ sinless human life, execution, and death on a cross combine to form the perfect sacrifice for the sins of every person. Jesus arose from the dead (a.k.a “resurrection”) after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven and will return again to earth to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Matthew 1:22-23; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1-5, 14:10-30; Hebrew 4:14-15; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Romans 1:3-4; Acts 1:9-11; 1 Timothy 6:14-15; Titus 2:13

The Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit makes us aware of our need for God’s salvation through Jesus’ death. The Holy Spirit provides the Christ-follower with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. We daily seek to live under the Holy Spirit’s guidance. 2 Corinthians 3:17; John 16:7-13, 14:16-17; Acts 1:8, 1 Corinthians 2:12, 3:16; Ephesians 1:13, 5:18; Galatians 5:25

The Bible

The Bible is God’s Word to us, inspired by God, written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the flawless and supreme source of truth for living. It is our primary authority for faith and practice. 2 Timothy 3:16, 1:13; 2 Peter 1:20-21; 2 Timothy 1:13; Psalms 119:105, 119:160, 12:6; Proverbs 30:5; Psalm 19:7-11; Matthew 24:35

Our Humanity

God created people in His spiritual image, to be like Him in character; we are the supreme object of His creation. Although every person has tremendous potential for good, we are all marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God called “sin”. This attitude separates us from God and causes many problems in life. Genesis 1:27; Psalm 8:3-6; Isaiah 53:6; Romans 3:23; Isaiah 59:1-2

Eternity

People were created to exist forever. We will either exist eternally separated from God (hell)  because of our disobedience, or eternally in union with God (heaven) through His forgiveness and salvation. Heaven and hell are real places of eternal existence. Our eternal destiny is determined by our acceptance or rejection of God’s salvation. John 3:16; Roman 6:23; Revelation 20:15; Matthew 25:41, 46

Salvation

We can never “make up” for our sin and disobedience by self-improvement or good works. Only by accepting God’s free gift of forgiveness through the death and resurrection of Jesus can anyone be saved from sin’s eternal penalty: Hell. Salvation begins the moment we admit our need and trust Jesus Christ to be the payment for our sin. Romans 6:23, 5:1; Ephesians 2:8-9; John 14:6, 1:12; Titus 3:5; Galatians 3:26

Eternal Security

Salvation is maintained by the grace and power of God not by our self-efforts; if you have been genuinely saved, you cannot “lose” your salvation. It is the grace and keeping power of God that gives us this security.
John 10:29; 2 Timothy 1:12; Hebrew 7:25, 10:10, 14; 1 Peters 1:3-5; Ephesians 1:13-14
