God the FatherGod 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.
Genesis 1:1, Genesis 26&27, Genesis 3:22, Psalm 90:2, Matthew 28:19, I Peter 1:2, 2 Corinthians 13:14 |
Jesus Christ the SonJesus 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 by dying on the 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.

The Holy SpiritThe Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the Son as God. He is present in the world to make mankind aware of our 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.
2 Corinthians 3:17, John 16:7-13, John 14:16&17, Acts 1:8, I Corinthians 2:12, Ephesians 1:13 |
About MankindWe are all made in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character. We are the supreme object of God's creation. Although mankind has tremendous potential for good, we are separated from God by our sinful condition.
Genesis 1:27, Psalm 8:3-6, Isaiah 53:6a, Romans 3:23, Romans 5:12, Isaiah 59:1&2 |

EternityWe all were created to exist forever. We will either be eternally separated from God by sin or in union with God through forgiveness and salvation. The place of eternal separation from God is called Hell. Heaven is the place of eternal union and eternal life with God.
Luke 16:22-24, John 3:16, Romans 6:23, Revelation 20:15 (Hell), Matthew 25:41, Revelation 21:27 (Heaven) |
SalvationSalvation is a gift from God to mankind. We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or by good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God's offer of forgiveness can we be saved from sin's penalty. Eternal life begins the moment we receive Jesus Christ into our life by faith.
Acts 16:30&31, Romans 6:23, Ephesians 2:8&9, John 14:6, John 1:12, Titus 3:5, Galatians 3:26 |

Eternal SecurityBecause God gives us 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, 2 Timothy 1:12, Hebrews 7:25, Hebrews 10:10,14, I Peter 1:3-5 |
The Holy BibleThe Holy Bible is God's word to all mankind. 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.
2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:20&21, 2 Timothy 1:13, Psalm 119:105,160, Psalm 12:6, Proverbs 30:5 Bible Resources
