Parshall Bible Chapel Statement of Belief
There exists a supreme spirit being known as
Almighty God. God exists as three distinct yet coequal
entities: GOD, CHRIST, and HOLY SPIRIT.
God is the Creator of Heaven, Earth, and all things contained in
each.
God created Mankind uniquely in His own image. His intent in
doing this, is so that Mankind may have a special everlasting
relationship with God.
Sin is disobedience to God. All people are sinners because
Adam, the first person, sinned.
God cannot tolerate sin, or associate with sin in any way.
Therefore sin separates Mankind for God, by acting as a barrier
between Mankind and Himself.
God required a perfect sinless sacrifice as payment to remove this
barrier of sin, so that the relationship between God and Mankind can
be renewed.
Man by himself, is not capable of providing such a payment.
Fortunately, God has willingly provided a sufficient payment
for us.
The payment God has provided is the sacrifice of His only Son, Jesus
Christ.
Christ came to Earth in the form of a man, experienced the same
temptations to sin as we do, yet remained sinless, and was
sacrificed as the payment for OUR sin. Christ then rose from
death and returned to Heaven.
Anyone who confesses sin, accepts that Christ is God, and believes
that Christ’s death was a TOTALLY sufficient sacrifice, establishes
a direct personal relationship with God, and becomes indwelt with
the HOLY SPIRIT.
This indwelling of the Holy Spirit results in a desire to follow
Jesus’ example. The Holy spirit is also a source of STRENGTH
and COMFORT in our daily lives.
God communicates his TRUTH to Man through the HOLY BIBLE. Man
is directed by this truth to communicate with GOD via PRAYER.
