What I believe
1. I believe the Holy Bible is the word of God and is infallible. 1 Cor 2:12-13, 2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:21, Matthew 5:17-18
2. I believe in the triune God. That the Father, Jesus Christ the Son and Holyspirit are 3 different persons but 1 essence God. (this alone could fill out a whole page but I’ll quote a minimum) Gen 1:26,3:22,11:7, Isa 6:8, 48:16, John 1:1,1:14,
3. I Believe that man has done nothing to merit salvation. All humanity has sinned and it was by God's grace I was saved through Jesus Christ‘s attonement on the cross. Romans 3:23, Romans 3:10, Romans 10:9 , 2 Cor 5:21.
4. I believe there is a eternal place called Heaven and Hell. Heaven is where God dwells as well as Christ is as well where the believer will be.(John 5:24,Luke 23:43,Heb 9:24)Hell is a place of eternal damnation(pain, suffering, torture) oringinally made for fallen angels(demons) and Satan. Non-believers who refuse to accept Christ as savior will be sent to hell after death because of their sins. (Romans 6:23, Ezekiel 18:4, Rev 20:14-15)
5. I believe Jesus Christ is God incarnate in human flesh to pay for our sins. John 10:30, John 10:33, John 8:58, John 1:1, John 1:14, John 20:28, Titus 2:13, Hebrews 1:18, 1 John 2:2
6. I believe in the Holy Spirit and He is God. Acts 5:3-4, 139:7-8, 1 Cor 2:10-11, Ephessians 4:30
7. I believe it is by faith in Jesus Christ alone that one is justified. John 3:16, Gal 2:16, Rom 3:22)
8. I believe God is totally sovereign over every situation and event in history. Nothing surprises or happens outside of God's will. Gen 18:14, Psalm 115:3, Psalm 135:6, Matthew 19:26.
9. I believe man is totally responsible for his actions. Deut 30:19, Josh 24:15 Rom 14:12
