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 as the Godhead and yet are one God.

Genesis 1:1, 26-27 | Psalm 90:2 | Peter 1:2 | 2 Corinthians 13:14

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 people 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 someday to earth to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords,

Matthew 1:22-23 | Isaiah 9:6 | John 14:10-30 | John 1:1-5 | Hebrews 4:1, 4-15 | 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 | Romans 1:3-4 | Acts 1:9-11 | 1 Timothy 6:14-15 | Titus 2:3

The Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the Son of God. He is present in the world to convict humanity of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation.

II Corinthians 3:17 | John 16:7-13 | John 14:16-17 | Acts 1:8 | 1 Corinthians 2:12, 3:16 | Ephesians 1:13, 5:8 | Galatians 5:25

The Bible is God’s Word to us. It is 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 the truth without any mixture or error there by constituting the “inerrancy” of Scripture.

2 Timothy 3:16 | 2 Peter 1:20-21 | 2 Timothy 1:13 | Psalm 119:105, 119:160, 12:6 | Proverbs 30:5

People are made in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character and person. People are the supreme object of God’s creation. Although every person has tremendous potential for good, everyone is marred by a fallen nature and has an attitude of disobedience toward God called “sin”.

Genesis 1:27 | Psalm 8:3-6 | Isaiah 53:6 | Romans 3:23

Salvation is God’s free gift given to us by His grace but must be accepted by each individual. No one can ever make up for sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God’s offer of forgiveness can anyone be saved from sin’s penalty. When a person turns from his/her self-ruled life and turns to Jesus Christ in faith that person is saved. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his/her life by faith.

Romans 6:23 | Ephesians 2:8-9 | John 14:6 | John 1:12 | Titus 3:5 | Galatians 3:26 | Romans 5:1

People were created to exist forever. People will either exist eternally separated from God by sin, or eternally with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is to exist in Hell. To be eternally in union with Him is eternal life in Heaven. Heaven and Hell are real places of eternal existence as is taught by the Bible.

John 3:16 | John 2:25 | 1 John 5:11-13 | Romans 6:23 | Revelation 20:15 | Matthew 25:44-46
