LJC Faith Statement

 

II. GOD

(A)  The Triune God

We believe that there is One and only living and true God.

We believe that He is the God who created the universe, and reigns over it with providential care.

We believe that God is the everlasting, never changing God.

We believe that God is the Almighty God, the Holy God, the Righteous God, and the God of love.

We believe that God is the Triune God, that is, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

 

Genesis 1-2, Isaiah 6:3, 40:28, 44:6, Matthew 28:19, Luke 1:37, John 10:30, 1 John 4:8, 4:16, Revelation 1:8, 4:11

 

(B)  Jesus Christ

We believe that Christ is the One and Only Son of the Almighty God.

We believe that, in His incarnation, Christ was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary.

We believe that Christ lived a sinless life on earth, and by obeying the will of God, He died on the cross for the redemption of all men from sin.

We believe that, three days after His death, Christ was raised from the dead, ascended to heaven and is now exalted at the right hand of God the Father where He intercedes for us continuously as the Mediator.

 

Matthew 1:20-23, 3:17, John 10:30, 1 Corinthians 15:3-5, Philippians 2:6-8, Hebrews 7:24-25, 9:12-15, 1 John 2:1-2

 

(C) The Holy Spirit

We believe that the Holy Spirit is one of the Triune God, the Spirit of God.

We believe that the Holy Spirit will guide people to salvation and is given to all believers as a “seal.”

We believe that the Holy Spirit will do the following work:

      Point out believers’ sins             ・  Remind the believers of the Scripture

      Guide the believers                    ・  Fill the believers                       ・ Give spiritual gifts

      Help believers to grow and transform them into the likeness of Christ.
