ABOUT GOD
God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has
eternally existed in three persons: the Father, the
Son and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal
and are one God.

ABOUT MAN
Man is made in the spiritual image of God, to be
like Him in character. He is the supreme object
of God´s creation. Although man has tremendous
potential for good, he is marred by an attitude
of disobedience toward God called sin. This attitude
separates man from God.

ABOUT ETERNITY
Man was created to exist forever. He will either
exist eternally separated from God by sin, or in
union with God through forgiveness and salvation.
To be eternally separated from God is Hell. To be
eternally in union with Him is eternal life. Heaven
and Hell are places of eternal existence.

ABOUT JESUS CHRIST
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal with
the Father. Jesus lived a sinless human life and
offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the
sins of all men by dying on a cross. He arose from
the dead after three days to demonstrate His power
over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven´s
glory and will return again to earth to reign as
King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.

6:14,15; Titus 2:13
ABOUT SALVATION
Salvation is a gift from God to man. Man can never
make up for his sin by self-improvement or good
works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God´s
offer of forgiveness can man be saved from sin´s
penalty. Eternal life begins the moment one receives
Jesus Christ into his life by faith.

6:23; Ephesians
2:8,9; John

ABOUT ETERNAL SECURITY
Because God gives man eternal life through Jesus
Christ, the believer is secure in the salvation
for eternity. Salvation is maintained by the grace
and power of God, not by the self-effort of the
Christian. It is the grace and keeping power of
God that gives this security.
John
10:29; II
Timothy 1:12; Hebrews
7:25; 10:10,14;
I
Peter 1:3-5
ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT
The Holy Spirit is equal with the Father and the
Son as God. He is present in the world to make men
aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives
in every Christian from the moment of salvation.
He provides the Christian with power for living,
understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in
doing what is right. The Christian seeks to live
under His control daily.

ABOUT THE BIBLE
The Bible is God´s word to all men. It was
written by human authors, under the supernatural
guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source
of truth for Christian beliefs and living. Because
it is inspired by God, it is truth without any mixture
of error.
