Statement of Faith

ExploringChrist.com is committed to sharing the Gospel with
believers as well as giving reasons for the hope within us.
We believe
that God is absolutely real. To see the billions of somethings around us,
from the gigantic to the microscopic, all of which started from absolutely
nothing, is to witness the
first of many
proofs of God’s existence.
We believe this God
of creation is the only God. He is infinitely perfect, existing eternally
in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believe Jesus Christ to be the
Son of God, a true extension of God Himself and in His incarnation to have been
true man. He was born of the Virgin Mary, conceived by the Holy Spirit, died for
our sins to reunite us with God and was raised from the dead for our
justification. Currently seating at the right hand of God in majesty, He makes
intercession as our High Priest. He will come again to establish His kingdom of
righteousness and peace.
We believe the Old and New Testaments to
be the infallible word of God, inerrant as originally given, verbally inspired
by God and the complete and sufficient revelation of His will for man's
salvation and conduct. We also agree with Saint Augustine who held that
intimately knowing the Bible is not the desired end, but rather a means to the
desired end…the end being an honest and fruitful relationship with God.
We believe man was created in the image of God. Through disobedience,
self-centeredness, and self-created distortions of perception he incurred both
physical and spiritual death. Thus, all now have a sinful nature, separated from
God and can be saved only through the atoning work of our triune God.
We believe in the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ as
both personal and visible. This is our blessed hope and serves as an incentive
for holy living and faithful service.
