God
There is one true God. He is the Creator of all things and the Redeemer of mankind. He exists as God the Father, God the Son in the person of Jesus Christ, and God the Spirit. (Matt. 28:19; 2 Cor. 13:14)
man
Man is the special creation of God, made in His own image. He created them male and female as the crowning work of His creation.
(Genesis 1:26-27)
(Genesis 1:26-27)
Jesus Christ
We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal God-man who became a man, lived a sinless life, died on the cross, was buried, and physically rose from the grave to redeem sinful humanity.
(John 1:14; 1 Peter 2:21-22; Acts 4:10; Philippians 2:7-11; Luke 23:26-24: 53)
(John 1:14; 1 Peter 2:21-22; Acts 4:10; Philippians 2:7-11; Luke 23:26-24: 53)
Salvation
Salvation involves the redemption of the whole man; and is offered freely to all who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, who obtained eternal redemption for the believer by His own blood.
(John 6:37-40; John 10:27-30; Romans 8:1; 1 Corinthians 1:4-8; 1 Peter 1:5)
(John 6:37-40; John 10:27-30; Romans 8:1; 1 Corinthians 1:4-8; 1 Peter 1:5)
