Foundations of our Faith
#8 Christian Living
We believe that God's justifying grace must not be separated from His sanctifying power and purpose. God commands us to love Him supremely and others sacrificially, and to live out our faith with care for one another, compassion toward the poor and justice for the oppressed.  With God’s Word, the Spirit’s power, and fervent prayer in Christ’s name, we are to combat the spiritual forces of evil.  In obedience to Christ’s commission, we are to make disciples among all people, always bearing witness to the gospel in word and deed. 

1. Saved by God's grace to live a transformed life. (Eph 2:8-9; Heb 10:14; Rom 6:11-14; 1 Thes 5:23)

 

2. Love God, love others, like Jesus (Matt 22:37-40; 1 John 4:8, 19-20; John 13:34-35; Isa 1:17;    Micah 6:8; Mt 25:40)

 

3. Fighting our true enemy (Satan) (2 Cor 10:3-5; Eph 6:10-18; John 10:10; Col 2:10-15; James 4:7-8)

 

4. We are called as transformed witnesses of Christ to make disciples. (Matt 28:18-20; Acts 1:8;     2 Pet 3:9 James 2:26)

 

*one way to share the gospel...using the book of Romans ("Romans Road"). Read these verses in order:

Romans 3:23; 5:8; 6:23; 10:9; 10:13.
