Basis of
Faith
We believe in...
-
The one true God who
lives eternally in three persons—the
Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
-
The love, grace and sovereignty of God in creating,
sustaining, ruling, redeeming and judging the
world.
-
The divine inspiration
and supreme authority of the Old and New Testament
Scriptures, which are the written Word of God—fully
trustworthy for faith and conduct.
-
The dignity of all people, made male and female
in God's image to love, be holy and care for
creation, yet corrupted by sin, which incurs
divine wrath and judgement.
-
The incarnation of God’s eternal Son,
the Lord Jesus Christ—born of the virgin
Mary; truly divine and truly human, yet without
sin.
-
The atoning sacrifice of Christ on the cross:
dying in our place, paying the price of sin and
defeating evil, so reconciling us with God.
-
The bodily resurrection of Christ, the first
fruits of our resurrection; his ascension to
the Father, and his reign and mediation as the
only Saviour of the world.
-
The justification of sinners solely by the
grace of God through faith in Christ.
-
The ministry of God the Holy Spirit, who leads
us to repentance, unites us with Christ through
new birth, empowers our discipleship and enables
our witness.
-
The Church, the body
of Christ both local and universal, the priesthood
of all believers—given
life by the Spirit and endowed with the Spirit's
gifts to worship God and proclaim the gospel,
promoting justice and love.
-
The personal and
visible return of Jesus Christ to fulfil the
purposes of God, who will raise all people to
judgement, bring eternal life to the redeemed
and eternal condemnation to the lost, and establish
a new heaven and new earth.
