Clare's Statement of Faith
The Bible, God's Word, is my only source of truth and is the only written revelation about who God is and what He is about.
I believe the Holy Bible is God's word Personally spoken by God for mankind for the purpose of revealing who He is and the Bible is without error in all issues, topics and subjects to which it speaks.
I believe that all scripture is God breathed and is useful for teaching, reproaching, correcting and training in righteousness so that men and women of God may be equipped for every good work.
(2 Timothy 3:16-17)
I believe that God is the creator of the universe creating both of the seen (physical) and the unseen (spiritual) realms and that God the creator is the giver of all life.
I believe in the Triunity (the Trinity), one God in three Persons, consisting of Father, Son Jesus, and Holy Spirit.
I believe that God has revealed Himself through Jesus Christ who is Divine God, who came from Heaven to mankind as a man yet retaining the Divinity of God - fully God, fully man - and who lived a sinless life, was rejected and betrayed by man, was crucified and died on the cross and resurrected on the third day in accordance with His Everlasting Divine life and God’s plan.
I believe Jesus physically rose from the dead, was seen by and interacted with many eyewitnesses including the Disciples and Apostles and that Jesus has now ascended back into Heaven where He originally came from. Jesus is currently seated in Majesty, Power and Authority at the right side the Father and He is accessible to us in both Prayer and Fellowship.
I believe that Jesus is the only way to salvation, heaven, eternal life and a relationship with God the Father. (John 14:6 and Acts 4:12)
I believe that by dying on the cross Jesus, covering us with his blood, paid the debt, providing complete atonement for all the sins of the world, for all who have ever lived or will ever live (Colossians 2:13-15), therefore cleansing those who choose to be cleansed from their sin, to then receive the Holy Spirit and by receiving the Holy Spirit becoming "Born Again" and in being Born Again becoming children of God adopted into the family of God, in a personal relationship with their Father who is God above all and as children are also inheritors of life everlasting in the Heavenly Kingdom of Jesus, the kingdom that is without end.
I believe that Jesus is the righteous judge of all of mankind's thoughts, intentions, deeds and actions and that He is just and wise in His judgment. As judge, Jesus will judge the unjust (those who are not born again, therefore not covered by His blood) to everlasting condemnation while to the righteous (those who are born again, therefore covered by His) He will give of His life, His gifts, and His glory.
Living the Christian life is one of absolute dependence on God. As a Christian I turn only to God for everything I need, including all guidance, healing, provision, teaching, truth and wisdom. God is in the supernatural process of changing my life to be more like Him. As I get to know Him and depend on Him, He changes me. His truth comes to me through His Word and Holy Spirit allows me to understand it. The impetus and energy to live the Christian life comes from Holy Spirit. (John 14:26)
Regenerated Christians are brand new people - they have been born again into a new life. Believers are accepted and adopted by God, and are secure in His love and in their salvation. (John 3:1-7 and 1 Peter 1:23-25 and Romans 6:4)
