Statement of Faith

It's important for you to know what I believe as a Bible study creator. I urge you to always measure everything to Scripture. I take God's Word very seriously and view it as the ultimate source of truth. I believe the Bible to be 100 percent true in all areas and do my absolute best to make sure my studies are scripturally sound and biblically accurate.

Bible

  • I believe the Bible is the inspired and authoritative Word of God. 2 Timothy 3:16-17
  • I believe that God used human authors under the direction of the Holy Spirit to write exactly what He wanted without error or contradiction. 2 Peter 1:20-21
  • I believe the Bible consists of 66 books total between the Old and New Testaments.

God

  • I believe in one God who is the creator of all things and has always existed. Genesis 1:1; Deuteronomy 6:4; Colossians 1:16
  • I believe in the Trinity, that God is three distinct persons and are all equally God: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. John 1:1-3; John 15:26; 2 Corinthians 13:14; 1 Timothy 2:5
  • I believe God is omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent, sovereign, infinite, eternal, unchanging, holy, just, righteous, loving, good, and true.

Jesus

  • I believe Jesus Christ is the Messiah, God incarnate, Savior of the world, the Son of God who was born of a virgin by the Holy Spirit, lived a sinless life, died on the cross, and was raised from the dead on the third day. Matthew 1:23; Matthew 28:6; John 1:14, Colossians 1:15; 1 John 3:5
  • I believe Jesus has always existed from the beginning with God. John 1:1-3
  • I believe Jesus will return again to righteously judge the world at His Second Coming. Mark 14:24-27; Revelation 19:11-16

Holy Spirit

  • I believe the Holy Spirit indwells every believer in Jesus Christ and that He is an abiding helper, teacher, and guide. John 14:26; John 16:7; Titus 3:5
  • I believe the Holy Spirit provides spiritual gifting to each believer for the benefit of the body of Christ. 1 Corinthians 12

Salvation

  • I believe salvation only occurs through faith in Jesus Christ. John 14:6
  • I believe salvation is only received through faith and not good works. Ephesians 2:8-9
  • I believe all believers who have genuinely received Christ as their Savior are sealed with the Holy Spirit and are eternally secure in Christ. Romans 8:38-39; Ephesians 1:13-14
