JESUS CHRIST
Jesus Christ is at the center of everything. We believe that Jesus is the only one who can reconcile us to God. He lived a sinless and exemplary life, died on the cross in our place, and rose again to prove His victory and empower us for life. In Him we have the free gift of salvation. We believe that Jesus Christ is coming back again as He promised. "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved." Acts 4:12 "Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6 THE TRINITY We believe in one eternal God who is the Creator of all things. He exists in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. He is totally loving and completely holy. "yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live." 1 Corinthians 8:6 "This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him." 1 John 4:9 "And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever – the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him for he lives with you and will be in you." John 14:16-17 "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" Matthew 28:19 THE BIBLE We believe that the Bible is God’s Word. It is accurate, authoritative, and applicable to our everyday lives. "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." 2 Timothy 3:16-17 THE SEPARATION We believe that sin has separated each of us from God and His purpose for our lives. "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" Romans 3:23 "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 6:23 THE RECONCILIATION We believe that in order to receive forgiveness and a fresh start with God, we must repent of our sins, believe in Jesus, and commit to His will for our lives. "God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God." 2 Corinthians 5:21 "For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus" 1 Timothy 2:5 THE MISSION We believe in the power and significance of the Body of Christ and the mission we have. "Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Matthew 28:18-20 Got questions? Have a question about what we believe at Our Hope Ministries?
