Statement of Faith - The Eternal Life Church of Christ
The Foundation of Our Beliefs
At The Eternal Life Church of Christ, we hold steadfast to a comprehensive Statement of Faith that guides our community in matters of spirituality and belief. Our commitment to our beliefs in the category of Community and Society - Faith and Beliefs is deeply rooted in our understanding of the Scriptures.
1. Our Belief in the Holy Trinity
As Christians, we believe in the Holy Trinity, God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We acknowledge the unity of these three distinct persons, co-equal and co-eternal, serving as the foundation of our faith.
2. The Authority of the Bible
The Eternal Life Church of Christ is devoted to upholding the authority of the Holy Bible. We believe that the Scriptures, consisting of the Old and the New Testaments, are inspired by God and serve as our ultimate guide in matters of faith and practice.
2.1 The Old Testament
In the Old Testament, we find the rich history of God's covenant with His people, the prophecies announcing the coming of the Messiah, and the moral laws that provide guidance for righteous living.
2.2 The New Testament
The New Testament reveals the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the foundation of our faith. It also contains the teachings of the apostles and their guidance for the early Christian community.
3. Salvation through Jesus Christ
We firmly believe that salvation is only possible through faith in Jesus Christ. Through His sacrificial death on the cross and resurrection, we receive forgiveness of sins and eternal life in communion with God.
4. The Power of the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit plays an essential role in our daily lives as believers. We believe in the transformative power of the Holy Spirit, who guides us, convicts us of sin, and empowers us to live godly lives.
5. The Church as the Body of Christ
The Church is not just a physical building; it is the living Body of Christ. We believe in the importance of community and fellowship, coming together to worship, support one another, and serve those in need.
6. The Second Coming of Christ
We anticipate the second coming of Jesus Christ, His visible return to earth. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost, and the final judgment where God's righteous kingdom will be established.
7. Our Call to Faith and Action
As members of The Eternal Life Church of Christ, we are called to fulfill the Great Commission, spreading the gospel and making disciples of all nations. Our faith in Christ compels us to actively engage in acts of love, justice, and compassion, seeking to make a positive impact in our community and society as a whole.
