Salvation
We believe that Jesus Christ was given by God as a sacrifice for the sins of all people. Christ died on the cross to mend the broken relationship which was caused by man’s sin of disobedience. Three days after His death, He rose victorious over death, providing atonement for eternal life. (Jhn 1:29; 3:6; I Cor 5:7; Eph 5:2; I Ptr 1:19) We believe when people trust Jesus with their lives, their sin and themselves, they become followers of the Lord, are forgiven and are members of God’s family.
What about sin committed after salvation? We believe that after we have given our lives to Jesus and been forgiven, sin is still possible in our lives. In this life there is no level of holiness (purity) from which it is impossible to fall. By the grace of a loving God, we are able to return to Him, by confession and repentance, find forgiveness and restored fellowship with God.
