What We Believe

We rejoice in the fact that “God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16; Acts 4:12; 1 Thessalonians 5:23; 1 Peter 3:18).
 
We believe this salvation is a gift of God’s grace, appropriated through faith alone in the Lord Jesus Christ.  This faith is a gift of divine grace, and is not simply knowledge of Jesus Christ, but is an act of personal trust accompanied by the miracles of regeneration and justification, leading to sanctification and glorification.

Weekly Pastor's Pen:

SIN AND MERCY: Part 2
(Genesis 6)

The earth’s population grew rapidly during this time because of the longevity of life.  And Genesis 6:5-7, 11, 12 provide a sobering assessment of the sinfulness of humanity during this time span.  These verses clearly teach the total depravity of the human race.  And after sin entered the world, people died.  Sin exacted its heavy price on the human race.
 
Human sin also brought the animal kingdom under God’s judgment (Genesis 6:7).  Because the animals were under man’s sinful dominion, they were also under God’s divine judgment.  It’s hard for man to come to grips with how devastating sin is, and to think that sin affected the animals is almost unthinkable – it would be unthinkable if we didn’t understand Scripture.  In fact, sin affected the entire creation: “For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now” (Romans 8:22).
 
It is hard to believe, but in just a few short chapters, the story of the Old Testament makes it clear that humanity desperately needs God’s mercy and grace.
 
One of the most important words for all of human history is the word “but” that begins Genesis 6:8. In the preceding verse (7), God was prepared to blot out all of humanity.  “But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD” (6:8).  Noah pleased God, and he, like Enoch his ancestor, “walked with God” (6:9).  Genesis 6:8 and 9 provided a welcome relief for Noah’s generation – one man can make a difference with God, and Noah was the man for his generation.
 
We learn from verse 9 that Noah pleased God (“found grace”), that he was righteous in the sight of God (“a just man”), that he maintained a blameless reputation among his contemporaries (“perfect in his generations”), and that he enjoyed fellowship with God (“walked with God”).
 
The example of Noah teaches believers of every age that it is possible to please God even when they are encircled by sin.

Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.  All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.  I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.  The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.  I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.                                                                                                          John 10:7-11
