THE WORD OF THE LIVING GOD PRAYER
MINISTRIES-WE BELIEVES
God created all that is seen and
unseen
We believe that God is the creator
of all people, the world, the universe, and everything seen and unseen. This is
based on various Bible passages, including the Bible's book of Genesis.
We Jesus is the Son of God and is One with God
We believe that Jesus is the Son of
God, that He is one with God, and that He was sent here for our salvation. In
John 10:30 (English-NIV), the Apostle John quotes Jesus as saying, "I and
the Father are one."
WeJesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the
virgin Mary
We believe that Jesus was conceived
of the Holy Spirit of God and born through the Virgin Mary. As explained in
Matthew 1:18 (English-NIV), "This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came
about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they
came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit."
We Jesus suffered and was crucified
Jesus suffered for our sins and was
crucified. As explained in Matthew 27:23-56 (English-NIV), Jesus was falsely
accused of being an anti-government rebel. He was brought to the Roman governor
Pontius Pilate. He was mocked, taunted, beaten and crucified.
We Jesus died and was buried
Jesus died after being crucified. He
was buried in a tomb owned by a man named Joseph of Arimathea, who was a
follower of Jesus. In Matthew 27:57-60 (English-NIV), the Bible says, "As
evening approached, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who had
himself become a disciple of Jesus. Going to Pilate, he asked for Jesus' body,
and Pilate ordered that it be given to him. Joseph took the body, wrapped it in
a clean linen cloth, and placed it in his own new tomb that he had cut out of
the rock. He rolled a big stone in front of the entrance to the tomb and went
away."
We Jesus rose again (the Resurrection)
Jesus was resurrected, which means
that He died, but was brought back to life again. You can read more about the
resurrection in the New Testament book of John, chapter 20. People who believe
in Jesus will also be resurrected after they die, and brought into the kingdom
of Heaven.
We Jesus ascended into Heaven
Jesus ascended into Heaven and is
seated at the right hand of God the Father. This happened after Jesus was
resurrected. We too will go to Heaven, but only through faith in Jesus Christ.
As explained in Mark 16:19-20 (English-NIV): "After the Lord Jesus had spoken
to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God. Then
the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them
and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it."
We Jesus will return to judge the living and the dead
Jesus will return again to judge the
living and the dead, and to establish a kingdom that will have no end. In
Matthew 24:30-31 (English-NIV), Jesus is quoted as saying that He will return
during the last days of man: "At that time the sign of the Son of Man will
appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see
the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory. And
he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect
from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other."
We People who repent their sins will be forgiven
People are "saved" and
forgiven if they confess their sins and confess their belief in the
resurrection of Jesus. As explained in Romans 10:9-10 (English-NIV), "That
if you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that
God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that
you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and
are saved."
We anyone can have salvation
All people may receive salvation in
the name of Jesus Christ. In Romans 10:12 (English-NIV), for example, it says:
"For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile - the same Lord is
Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him…"
John 3:16 (NIV): "For God so
loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him
shall not perish but have eternal life."
