WE BELIEVE THAT THE BIBLE IS THE WORD OF GOD, AND IS THEREFORE AUTHORITATIVE, INERRANT, INFALLIBLE, AND SUFFICIENT. THE BIBLE IS GOD'S SPECIAL DIVINE REVELATION TO MANKIND THAT COMMUNICATES HIS GRACIOUS PLAN OF REDEMPTION THROUGH THE DEATH AND RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST.
FOR THERE IS ONE GOD,
AND THERE IS ONE MEDIATOR BETWEEN GOD AND MEN,
THE MAN CHRIST JESUS.
1 TIMOTHY 2:5
CREATION
FALL
RESTORATION
REDEMPTION
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth and declared everything to be good. Before the Fall, the relationship between God and Man was perfect.
In Genesis 3, we see that sin entered into the world through the failure of mankind by way of temptation from the serpent. Mankind sinned against God, and sin and death became reality.
Because we are naturally sinful since the Fall, our relationship with God is marred. We cannot have a true, saving relationship with God apart from the work of Jesus Christ--which God graciously planned on our behalf, and for His glory.
By faith in Christ, the old life passes away and we are given a new life. No longer are we condemned before God, but our relationship is restored. One day, upon Christ's return, all things will be restored fully and finally.
