..:: God
God is the Creator and Ruler of the Universe. He
has eternally existed in three personalities: the Father, the
Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one
God.Genesis 1:1, 26, 27; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19; 1 Peter 1:2; 2 Corinthians 13:14.

..::Jesus
Christ
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the
Father. Jesus lived a sinless life and offered Himself as the
perfect sacrifice for sins of all people by dying on a 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 someday to reign as King of Kings, and Lord
of lords.
Matthew 1:22, 23; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1-5; John 14:10-30; Hebrews 4:14, 15; 1 Corinthians 15:
3, 4;
Romans 1:3, 4; Acts 1:9-11; 1 Timothy 6:14, 15; Titus
2:13.

The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the
Son of God. He is present in the world to make men aware of
their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian
from the moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with
power for living, understanding spiritual truth, and guidance
in doing what is right. He gives every believer a spiritual
gift when they are saved. As Christians, we seek to live under
His control daily.
2 Corinthians 3:17; John 16:7-13; John 14:16, 17; Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 2:12; 1
Corinthians 3:16;
Ephesians 1:13; Galatians 5:25; Ephesians
5:18.

..:: Human
Beings
People are made in the spiritual image of God, to
be like Him in character. People are the supreme object of
God’s creation. Although every person has tremendous potential
for good, all of us are marred by an attitude of disobedience
towards God called “sin.” This attitude separates people from
God and causes many problems in life.
Genesis 1:27; Psalm 8:3-6; Isaiah 53:6a; Romans 3:23; Isaiah
59:1, 2.

Salvation
Salvation is God’s free gift to us, but we must accept
it. We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or
good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God’s offer of
forgiveness can anyone be saved from sin’s penalty. When we
turn from our self-ruled life and turn to Jesus in faith, we
are saved. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus
Christ into his life by faith.
Romans
6:23; Ephesians 2:8, 9; John 14:6; John 1:12; Titus 3:5; Galatians 3:26; Romans 5:1.

Eternal Security
Because God gives us eternal life through Jesus
Christ, the true believer is secure in that salvation for
eternity. If you have been genuinely saved, you cannot “lose”
it. 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 us this security.
John 10:28, 29; 2 Timothy 1:12; Hebrews 7:25; Hebrews 10:10,
14; 1 Peter 1:3-5.

..:: Eternity
People were created to exist forever. We will either
exist eternally separated from God by sin, or eternally with
God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally
separated from God is hell. To be eternally in union with him
is eternal life. Heaven and hell are real places of eternal
existence.
John 3:16; John 2:25; John
5:11-13; Romans 6:23; Revelation 20:15; Matthew 1:8; Matthew
2:44, 46.
