STATEMENT OF FAITH
The Word Christian Mission
About God
We are a Christ-Centered church that is dedicated to loving God with all
our heart, mind and soul and to loving our neighbour as ourselves. We
believe there is one God, who has revealed Himself as our Father, in His
Son Jesus Christ, and as the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is God manifested
in flesh. He is both God and man. (Deuteronomy 6:4, Ephesians 4:4-6,
Colossians 2:9, 1 Timothy 3:16)
About the Bible
The Bible is the infallible and authoritative Word of God and the
authority for salvation and Christian living. (2 Timothy 3:15- 17)
About Sin and Salvation
We believe that God created Adam and Eve in His image, but they sinned
when tempted by Satan. Everyone has sinned and needs salvation.
Salvation comes by grace through faith based on the atoning sacrifice of
Jesus Christ. Only through God’s saving grace and work in Jesus Christ
can we be rescued, reconciled and renewed. (Romans 3:23-25; 6:23;
Ephesians 2:8-9)
About Jesus Christ
We believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is God incarnate,
God in human form, the express image of the Father, who, without
Ceasing to be God, became man in order that He might demonstrate
Who God is and provide the means of salvation for humanity.
(Matthew 1:21; John 1:18; Colossians 1:15)
We believe that Jesus Christ was conceived of the Holy Spirit and
Was born of the virgin Mary (Matthew 1:23)
About the Holy Spirit
We believe in the deity and personality of the Holy Spirit (Acts 5:3-4)
He regenerates sinners (Titus3:5) and indwells believers (Romans 8:9)
He is the agent by whom Christ baptizes all believers into His body
(1 Corinthians 12:12-14) He is the seal by whom the Father guarantees
The salvation of believers unto the day of redemption
(Ephesians 1:13-14) He is the Divine Teacher who illumines believer’s
Hearts and minds as they study the Word of God (1 Corinthians 2:9-12)
About the Gospel
The saving gospel is the good news that Jesus died for our sins, was
buried, and rose again. We obey the gospel (2 Thessalonians 1:8; 1
Peter 4:17) by repentance (death to sin), water baptism in the name of
Jesus Christ (burial), and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit
(resurrection). (1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Acts 2:4)
About Christian Living
As Christians we are to love God and others. We should live a holy life
inwardly and outwardly, and worship God joyfully. The supernatural
gifts of the Spirit, including healing, are for the church today. (Mark
12:28-31; 2 Corinthians 7:1; Hebrews 12:14; 1 Corinthians 12:8-10)
About the Future
Jesus Christ is coming again for His church. The righteous will inherit
eternal life and the unrighteous eternal death (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17;
Revelation 20:11-15)
