The Trinity
God has existed in relationship with himself for all eternity. He exists as one substance in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Although each member of the Trinity fulfills different functions, each possesses the same power and authority.
Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 61:1; Matthew 28:19; Mark 1:9-11; Luke 1:35; John 5:21-23; 14:10, 16; Romans 8:9-11; 1 Corinthians 8:6; 2 Corinthians 13:14; Hebrews 1:8-10; James 2:19
FATHER
God is great: He is all-powerful, omniscient, ever-present, unchanging, completely worthy of our trust, and, above all, Holy. It is in Him that we live, move and have our being. God is good. He is our Father. He is loving, compassionate and faithful to His people and His promises.
Exodus 3:14; Numbers 23:19; Leviticus 11:44-45; 19:2; Psalm 11:4-6; Malachi 3:6; John 3:16; 4:24; 5:26; 14:1; Acts 17:28; Romans 3:3-4
SON
Jesus Christ is completely human but, at the same time, completely God. He is the only plan for people who are far from God to return to a right relationship with God. He lived a perfect life, so that he could be a substitute for us in meeting God’s demands for perfection. He defeated death in His resurrection so that we can have life.
Isaiah 7:14; 53; Matthew 1:18-23; 3:17; 8:29; 14:33; 16:16; 28:5-6; Luke 22:70; 24:46-47; John 1:1, 14; 10:30; 11:25-27; 7:1-5;
HOLY SPIRIT
The presence of the Holy Spirit assures us of our relationship with Christ. He guides believers into all truth and exalts Christ. He convinces people of their sin, of God’s justice, and of the coming judgment. He comforts us, gives us spiritual gifts, and makes us more like Christ.
Genesis 1:2; Psalm 51:11; 139:7; Isaiah 61:1-3; Joel 2:28-32; Mark 1:10; Luke 1:35; 4:1; 11:13; 12:12; John 15:26; 16:7-14; Acts 1:8; 2:1-4; 13:2; Romans 8:9-11, 14 16, 26-27; 1 Corinthians 3:16; Ephesians 1:13-14; 2 Peter 1:21; Revelation 22:17
The Bible
The Bible is the Word of God for all people. It was written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. Because it was inspired by God, the Bible is true without any admixture of error and is completely relevant to our daily lives.
Deuteronomy 4:1-2; Psalm 119:11, 89, 105; Isaiah 40:8; Matthew 22:29; John 5:39; 16:13-15; 17:17; Romans 15:4; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; Hebrews 1:1-2; 4:12; 1 Peter 1:25; 2 Peter 3:16; Deuteronomy 4:1-2; Psalm 119:11, 89, 105; Isaiah 40:8; Matthew 22:29; John 5:39; 16:13-15; 17:17; Romans 15:4; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; Hebrews 1:1-2; 4:12; 1 Peter 1:25; 2 Peter 3:16
Eternity
Man was created to exist forever. He will exist eternally separated from God through sin or in union with God through forgiveness and salvation. Being eternally separated from God is hell. To be eternally in union with Him is Heaven. Heaven and hell are places of eternal existence.
John 3:16, 36; Romans 6:23; 1 John 2:25; 5:11-13; Revelation 20:15
Man
Man is made in the image of God and is the supreme object of His creation. Man was created to have fellowship with God, but was separated from that relationship by sinful disobedience. As a result, man cannot achieve a right relationship with God through his own efforts. Each human personality is uniquely created, possesses dignity, and is worthy of Christian respect and love.
Genesis 1:26-30; 2:7, 18-22; 3; Psalm 8:3-6; 32:1-5; 51:5; Isaiah 6:5; Jeremiah 17:5; Acts 17:26-31; Romans 1:19-32; 3:10-18, 23; 5:6; 6:6; 7:14-25; 1 Corinthians 1:21-31; 15:19, 21-22; Ephesians 2; Colossians 1:21-22; 3:9-11
Salvation
The blood of Jesus Christ, shed on the cross, provides the only way to salvation through the forgiveness of sins. Salvation occurs when people place their faith in the death and resurrection of Christ as sufficient payment for their sin. Salvation is a gift from God and cannot be earned by our own efforts.
Isaiah 1:18; 53:5-6; 55:7; Matthew 1:21; 27:22-66, 28:1-6; Luke 1:68-69; 2:28 32; John 1:12; 3:16, 36; 5:24; Acts 2:21; 4:12; 16:30-31; Romans 1:16-18; 3:23 25; 5:8-10; 6; 1 Corinthians 1:18; 2 Corinthians 5:17-20; Galatians 2:20; 3:13; Ephesians 2:8-10; Philippians 2:12-13; Hebrews 9:24-28; Revelation 3:20
