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:

JESUS CHRIST IS GOD

Christianity stands on this belief – that Jesus is God, but what evidence do we have to support such a claim? Critics claim that Christianity has no compelling evidence for such a claim as that Jesus was, and is, God. However, I disagree with the critics.

First, note that Jesus fulfilled “almost two hundred detailed prophecies written centuries before His time” (Statement taken from: Evidence for Jesus’ Deity). Critics allege that Jesus deliberately orchestrated His life to fulfill prophecies. Think about this statement for a moment.

Now I ask you, could Jesus have arranged His family line through Abraham, the tribe of Judah, and royal house of David? How could He plan to be born in Bethlehem? Were His miracles part of His counterfeit life? Did He orchestrate His own crucifixion by manipulating the Jewish religious leaders and the Roman government to conspire against Him? How did fulfilling that crucifixion include numerous details anticipated by the Old Testament? Most of all, how did He falsely fulfill the prophesy that He would rise from the dead?

The second reason that Christians claim that Jesus is God is because Jesus displayed traits such as knowing people’s thoughts and future actions, controlling the forces of nature, and healing paralysis and disease.

Third, He demonstrated something that no one else has been able to demonstrate, a sinless life. Even in the presence of His opponents, who were determined to bring Him down, He challenged anyone to find Him guilty of sin, and none could. Claiming sinlessness does not prove deity but living sinless backs up the claim quite well. Even His friends, those who knew Him best, claimed Him to be sinless.

Fourth, Jesus’ resurrection, His greatest and most well-documented miracle, is unduplicated in any religion. And this miracle wasn’t the product of wishful thinking. On the contrary, there were many convincing proofs. Jesus said He was God and provided evidence for that Statement.

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
