God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three persons: the
Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God.
Genesis1:1,26,27; 3:22; Matthew 28:19; 1 Peter 1:2; 2 Corinthians 13:14
Humans are made in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character. We are the
supreme object of God´s creation. Although humans have tremendous potential for good,
we are marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God called "sin". This attitude
separates us from God.
Genesis 1:27; Psalm 8:3-6; Isaiah 53:6a; Romans 3:23; Isaiah 59:1,2
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father. Jesus lived a sinless human
life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on a cross.
He arose bodily from the dead after three days. He ascended to heaven´s glory and will
return again to earth to reign.
Matthew 1:22,23; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1-5, 14:10-30; Hebrews 4:14,15; 1 Corinthians 15:3,4; Romans 1:3,4; Acts 1:9-11; 1 Timothy 6:14,15; Titus 2:13
Salvation is a gift from God to humanity. We can never make up for our sin by self-
improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God´s offer of forgiveness
can we be saved from sin´s penalty.
Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8,9; John 14:6, 1:12; Titus 3:5; Galatians 3:26; Romans 5:1
The Holy Spirit is equal with the Father and the Son as God. He is present in the world to
make people aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian from the
moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of
spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. The Christian seeks to live under His
control daily.
2 Corinthians 3:17; John 16:7-13, 14:16,17; Acts 1:8
The Bible is God´s word to all people. It was written by human authors, under the
supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian
beliefs and living. Because it is inspired by God, it is truth without any mixture of error.
2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20,21; 2 Timothy 1:13; Psalm 119:105,160, 12:6
