A Foundational Statement of Christian Faith

I pray that the following paragraphs serve as a statement of foundational beliefs in the Gospel of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Although there are many issues of doctrine, the Sacraments, and Biblical interpretation philosophies that can be discussed and debated, upon the following issues there can be no compromise without stumbling upon a "different gospel." Let each of us, who are called by His name, embrace these points of faith whole-heartedly and with great thanksgiving for the mercy and grace of God.

“I believe that God is our Almighty Creator, Loving Sustainer, and Righteous Lord, and as such His will is sovereign over all of history and the Universe. I believe that Jesus Christ, as the Son of God, is the eternal second person of the Holy Trinity that also includes God the Father and God the Holy Spirit. I believe that Jesus Christ was born of a virgin into this world through the power of the Holy Spirit, worked countless miracles while on Earth, was crucified, is resurrected and now sits at the right hand of God the Father. I believe that Jesus Christ paid the price for my sins so that I might receive forgiveness and gain salvation through His blood and body. I believe that Jesus Christ will return some day in the undisclosed future so that I might also be resurrected and join Him for eternity in God’s glory.�?/I>

“I believe that Jesus Christ empowered the Church almost 2,000 years ago to be His Bride in New Jerusalem. I believe that Jesus Christ is accomplishing this through the gift of the Holy Spirit to those who believe in Him and are willing to receive Him in spirit. I believe that Jesus Christ is the head of the Church which is His body, but that He does not exceed the willingness of His Bride to be obedient in continuing the Father’s work here on Earth until the occasion of His return.�?/I>

“I believe that Jesus Christ is revealed to the believer through reading, hearing, and meditation on Canonized Scripture, and that this revelation is possible only through enlightenment by the Holy Spirit. I believe that all personal spiritual revelation must be weighed against what is revealed specifically and generally within The Bible, and that it cannot contradict, supercede, or go beyond what is written. I believe that Jesus Christ is the living Word of God, and that no one comes to the Father, except by the Son.�?/I>

If this is the first time you have read such a statement of Christian Faith and you feel Jesus Christ calling you, or if you feel the truth of these words tugging at your heart for a recommitment to Him...right now embrace them as your own prayer. Know this: Christianity is not a religion...it is a personal relationship with the living Jesus of Nazareth. He is mighty to save and today is the day of His favor and today is the day of salvation. We serve a God of second chances (and third and fourth). You have not committed any sin that is greater than His love's willingness and ability to forgive, nor are you too young or too old. Becoming "clean," becoming "whole," becoming "reborn as a new creation" is just a prayer for Christ's mercy away. May we all be joined in saying, “Amen.�?/P>
