The Bible

We believe that the Bible is God’s only revealed message to mankind, given to bring individuals to belief and faith in God and his Son. The Bible is our only authority and it should be read prayerfully and with care at every opportunity.  Romans 16:26; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; Acts 17:11; 2 Peter 1:20-21

God

There is only one eternal, immortal God. Jesus Christ is his only begotten son and the Holy Spirit is his power. Isaiah 45:5-7; 1 Timothy 1:17; 2:5; Luke 1:35; Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 8:6

Man

Man is mortal and a sinner before God. His whole being is prone to sin and the punishment for sin is death – the end of all life. But God has a purpose.  Job 4:17; Romans 3:23; Jeremiah 17:9; Mark 7:21-21; James 1:13-15

Jesus

In his love, God sent his son, the man Jesus, into the world to save men from their sins. Those who believe in him will not perish, but have everlasting life.  Luke 1:35; Matthew 1:20-21; 3:17; Mark 12:29-31; John 3:16

Sacrifice of Christ

Jesus was sinless. He died to redeem those who receive this sacrifice by faith. God raised him from the dead, gave him immortality, granted him all authority in heaven and on earth, and set him as the mediator between God and man.  Ephesians 1:19-23; 1 Timothy 2:5-6; Hebrews 4:14-16; Romans 3:21-26

Return of Jesus

We believe that Jesus will soon return to the earth. He will then raise many of the dead, judge them with the living and give his faithful followers everlasting life in the kingdom of God.  Acts 1:11; Revelation 22:12; Luke 21:20-32; John 5:28-29; Daniel 12:2; 2 Timothy 4:1; Matthew 25:31-34

Kingdom of God

The Kingdom of God will be established on earth. Jesus will be king in Jerusalem; his dominion worldwide and his government will bring eternal righteousness and peace.  Daniel 2:44; 7:27; 7:14; Acts 3:21; Jeremiah 3:17; Isaiah 2:2-4; 9:6-9; 11:1-9; 61:1-11; Psalm 72

The Promises

The Gospel is inseparable from the promises which God made to Abraham and David in Old Testament times. These promises find their fulfillment in Jesus Christ.  Galatians 3:6-9, 16:26-29; Genesis 13:14-17; 22:15-18; 2 Samuel 7:12-16; Luke 1:31-33

Hope

The only hope of life after death is the resurrection of the body and everlasting life in God’s kingdom on earth.  Psalms 49:12-20; 1 Corinthians 15:12; Romans 8:22-39; Acts 24:15; John 11:25-26; Revelation 5:10; 20:4

The Way of Salvation

We believe we are saved by God’s grace though faith in Him and His son Jesus Christ. This involves belief in the Bible and obedience to its requirements that men and women confess their sins, repent, be baptised and follow Jesus faithfully.  Ephesians 2:4-5; Hebrews 11:6; 2 Thessalonians 2:13; Timothy 3:15; Acts 2:37-38; 4:12; John 3:3-5; Matthew 16:24-27
