We believe that God Almighty is the One and Only True Living God, Maker of Heaven and Earth, and all that is in Heaven, on Earth, and under the Earth. We believe God is holy and yet loving. From eternity past, God planned to populate Heaven with humans who become His children through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and cleansed by His shed blood.

Heaven is a place of eternal joy, peace, happiness and fellowship with God and the redeemed; Heaven is in direct contrast to Hell where souls are cut off from fellowship with God and suffer eternally. Our Lord Jesus Christ is the true Son of God Who became the God-Man at the Incarnation (John 1:14). He was truly God and truly Man in one body.

As the Son of man, He identified with human beings on Earth in their sufferings and understands our weaknesses because He “was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin” (Hebrews 4:15). As our Lord, “He is able to succour [help] them that are tempted” (Hebrews 2:18). At the end of His earthly life, the Lord Jesus died on the Cross to pay for our sins. He, the sinless Son of God, died on our behalf as a Substitutionary Sacrifice [peace-offering] to God (1 John 4:10). The Lord Jesus Christ Who was without sin became a sin-offering for us “that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him” (2 Corinthians 5:21). By His death on the Cross, the Lord Jesus conquered sin, death and Satan.

Three days later, He came to life again from the dead to assure us that our sins were fully paid for. We believe in the existence of Satan, that he is a fallen angel and an avowed enemy of God and God’s people. He actively seeks to seduce unbelieving souls to Hell. He also hinders Christians from living holy lives, as well as thwarts their efforts to extend God’s Kingdom. As the God-Man, the Lord Jesus Christ’s death on the Cross was sufficient for all mankind but efficacious or effective only for those who believe. We believe in the sovereignty of God in man’s salvation.

It is God Who predestinates and chooses us to believe in Him and be His children. Salvation is totally by God’s grace. Man’s good works do not merit salvation in any way. “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9). “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour” (Titus 3:5-6).

We believe that man is sinful and depraved, unable to do anything good to merit salvation. Indeed, all men are like sheep which “have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD [God] hath laid on Him [the Lord Jesus Christ] the iniquity of us all” (Isaiah 53:6). We believe that salvation is only by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and in Him alone. “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under Heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).

The God-appointed and God-given Mediator is our Lord Jesus Christ. “For there is one God, and one Mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” (1 Timothy 2:5). We believe that all men are lost spiritually, needing to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour, to be made right with God.
