WHAT WE BELIEVE
For all those who believe in Jesus as Lord and Savior, this is what we believe:
When Christ died, you died. When Christ resurrected, He brought you into a new existence.
​
Galatians 2:20
“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. And the life that I now live in my body, I live by faith, indeed, by the faithfulness of God’s Son, who loved me and gave himself for me.” (CEB)
GOD
Sovereignty
Creator of all [Colossians 1:16], King of all [Psalm 47], Alpha and Omega [Revelation 1:8].
His Spirit indwells His words (and His Word), fulfilling each word’s purpose [Isaiah 55].
Intimacy
Jesus, Word become flesh, is the manifestation of God’s desire for union and intimacy [John 3:16]. It has been His desire from the beginning, and He seeks us at our most intimate level [Revelation 3:20].
Christ was the perfect answer to the balance of God’s desire and our freedom to choose. He was God become flesh, humbled to the point of death, willingly paid so that His righteous would stand in the place of our unrighteousness. His sacrifice tore the veil, making intimate union available for all who call upon His name [2 Corinthians 5:21].
US
It is finished!
We are complete, lacking nothing, when we are in Christ Jesus [Colossians 2:10]. Before, in our fallen state, we were dead to Christ, and slaves to sin. When Christ’s sacrifice was made, as the Perfect Lamb of God, that state was abolished for those who accept Him. It is finished!
Reflection
We are made in the image of our Creator [Genesis 1:27]. We accept upon ourselves, by accepting Christ, the righteousness of the Perfect One. We are given the Holy Spirit without measure, an endless spring of life [John 4:14]. We have direct communication to God through Christ Jesus.
All of this is what Christ had during His ministry on Earth. Jesus was God become flesh, humbled to the state of humanity, and He walked in the manifestation of Heaven everywhere He went. He was the first fruits of what is now completed in us. He was a walking miracle of endless life, and Heaven gushed out of Him.
And we were transformed into all of those elements, called to do even greater things than He did [John 14:12]. All of it is possible because Christ indwells us, we are in God’s image, His Spirit overflows from within us, and because He said to. He’s the King.
UNION
Co-Co-Co-Co
[Romans 6-8]
Co-Crucified:
Our righteousness was made complete because we were taken upon the cross with Christ, crucified with Him, in perfect union, and the our self of sinfulness (the old man) was killed with Him.
Co-Buried:
We were buried with Christ, so that our old self of sin would be planted permanently under our feet, gone from us forever.
Co-Raised:
We were resurrected with Christ, completely transformed and clean, no longer sinful and corrupt to the core, but now JESUS TO THE CORE!
Co-Seated:
We are seated with Christ in Heaven, as we dwell with Him and He dwells in us. We have direct access. We are family. We’re blood. We have His authority over the earth, because it’s a part of the endless supply of life He provides us.
