My Statement of Faith

I believe in God the Father, creator of heaven and earth. Creator of time and space. Creator of all things visible and invisible.

I believe in Jesus, the Christ, the Son of God. Born of a virgin and the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ, the son of man, was crucified for the payment of all of sins of the world. The sins from before His coming and all of the sins there after. Jesus died on the cross and on the third day, rose from the dead and now sits at the right hand of God. I believe that Jesus will come again to judge the living and the dead. Those who abide in Christ will be with Him for all of eternity.

I believe in the Holy Spirit and the Holy Trinity; God the Father; God the Son; God the Holy Spirit.

I believe that Jesus Christ is the head of the church and we, His saints are the body. Different parts, different gifts, one purpose; to give God glory for grace, life and creation. We, those who truly love Christ, are the church. Therefore, I will serve Him and the church with the life and gifts He entrusted to me.

I believe the forgiveness of my sin is through Christ Jesus alone. Without Christ, there is no life.

I believe in eternal life. I believe in the Gospels, the written word of God. These are my beliefs, my thoughts and my heart poured out before the throne of my God.

This is my Creed. Amen.
