About Us

We believe that Jesus Christ was made unto us by God wisdom, God's divine revelation manifested both through Jesus Christ and through His gospel.  1 Corinthians 1:30 in the NASB it says, 30 But by His doing you are in Christ Jesus, Who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption,.

The word wisdom is the same as the Greek word (sophia) which means higher or lower wisdom, which is either worldly, or spiritual.  In Isaiah 55:8-9 NASB it says, 8 "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Neither are your ways My ways," declares the Lord.  9 "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And my thoughts  than your thoughts." So there is a worldly sense of wisdom, knowledge, learning, intellect, and understanding which draws the minds of men away from divine truth, causing men to perish. Then, there is the divine wisdom of God (sophia), the knowledge of God, which when believed and applied to the believer's life, allows man to walk in continual fellowship with God.  In 1 Corinthians 1:18 NASB Paul wrote, 18 For the word (logos) of the cross is to those who are perishing foolishness, but to those who are being saved, it is the power of God.

We believe that through faith in what the blood of Jesus accomplished on the cross man is justified before God. The word justified in the Greek is (dikaiosis) which means "made right or righteous."  In  2 Corinthians 5:21 NASB Paul wrote, 21 "He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him."  This gives man the ability to stand before God without any sence of guilt or shame. And in Hebrews 4:16 NASB Paul wrote, 16 "Let us therefore draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need." 

We believe that The Word of God not only justifies and pardons, but has mind renewing, sanctifying power that enables believers to live in newness of life, set apart for Jesus Christ. John 17:17 in the NASB John wrote, 17 "Sanctify them in thy truth; Your word is truth." Sanctify is the same as the Greek word (hagiazo) which means to be holy or set apart, devoting one's self to being clean mentally and morally by influences of the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of God.  This is a continuous process in a believer's life where through spiritual development they turn from the old life of sin, and live a new life unto holiness, becoming more like Jesus Christ.  In Romans 12:2 NASB Paul wrote  2 "And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect."

We believe that through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, God made the way for the redemption of mankind from its sinful nature.  Psalm  103:3  in  the  AMP  says  3  Who  forgives  all  your  sins,  Who  heals  all  your  diseases;  Who  redeems  your  life  from  the  pit,  Who  crowns  you  [lavishly]  with  lovingkindness  and  tender  mercy;.  The word redeemed is the greek word (apolutrosis) which means deliverance from the power and consequences of sin which Christ procured by laying down His life as a ransom. This free gift from God was given because all have sinned and are in need of a savior.  By God's grace, as a free gift, we are justified through the redemption that is in Jesus Christ alone.  In the Gospel of John 3:16-17 NASB John wrote  16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life."
