what is it that makes us so holy, anyway…
Well, we would be the first ones to tell you— it is not us or anything we’ve ever done!
It is completely by God’s grace that we are considered holy.
When God looks at us believers he doesn’t see our mistakes or sinful stained hands, he sees the pure holiness of His Son shining.
“It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. ”
— I Corinthians 1:30
We believe in the one true God, the Triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe that every person is sinful, and that only through Jesus Christ can anyone be saved.
“When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross. ”
— Colossians 2:13-14
We believe that God shows Himself to us through His creation and His Word, the Bible. The Bible is divinely inspired and without error.
“And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is at work in you who believe. ”
— 1 Thessalonians 2:13
We believe that God loves beyond our understanding and wants all men to be saved.
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.”
— John 3:16
