I believe that God the Father sent His Son to die for the salvation of all. His life as a perfect human gives back to God what we are not able to do in our sinfulness. His awful death on the cross brought redemption that we might live now and eternally with God. All of our life must be lived through Christ that we might properly offer to God what is righteous.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>I believe in the Trinity, The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit. I believe the fellowship and love within the Trinity gives humanity a reason for love, relationship and community. God is working out His own purposes in the life of each believer, nation and history; His will will be done. I believe the Bible is God's inspired word to the Church and the world. God has spoken through Jesus Christ and Christ is His final revelation. (Heb.1:1,2)</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>I believe in the universal or catholic Church. The Church consists of those Jesus Christ has redeemed by His death on the cross. That is grace, the work of God and not humanity. I believe that the Church has always been and will always be (until the resurrection) a place of weakness since it consists of humans who are sinful and weak. Nevertheless, the Church is triumphant because she is loved and owned by the Lord Jesus Christ.</B></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B><IMG SRC="113a9db0.png" border=0 width="169" height="219" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
