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% 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 that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments (all 66 books) are the Word of God, fully inspired without error or contradiction.
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. 2 Corinthians 13:14, 1 Timothy 2:5, John 1:1-3, John 15:26
- 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, lived a sinless life, died on a cross, and was raised from the dead on the third day. Colossians 1:15, John 1:14, Matthew 1:23, 1 John 3:5, Matthew 28:6
- 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. Titus 3:5, John 14:26, John 16:7
- 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
