Fundamental Belief(3. Father:
God the eternal Father is the Creator, Source, Sustainer, and Sovereign of all creation. He is just and holy, merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness. The qualities and powers exhibited in the Son and the Holy Spirit are also revelations of the Father. (Gen. 1:1; Rev. 4:11; 1 Cor. 15:28; John 3:16; 1 John 4:8; 1 Tim. 1:17; Ex. 34:6, 7; John 14:9.)
Fundamental Belief(2. Trinity:
There is one God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, a unity of three co-eternal Persons. God is immortal, all-powerful, all-knowing, above all, and ever present. He is infinite and beyond human comprehension, yet known through His self-revelation. He is forever worthy of worship, adoration, and service by the whole creation. (Deut. 6:4; Matt. 28:19; 2 Cor. 13:14; Eph. 4:4-6; 1 Peter 1:2; 1 Tim. 1:17; Rev. 14:7.)
Fundamental Belief(1. Holy Scriptures:
he Holy Scriptures, Old and New Testaments, are the written Word of God, given by divine inspiration through holy men of God who spoke and wrote as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. In this Word, God has committed to man the knowledge necessary for salvation. The Holy Scriptures are the infallible revelation of His will. They are the standard of character, the test of experience, the authoritative revealer of doctrines, and the trustworthy record of God's acts in history. (2 Peter 1:20, 21; 2 Tim. 3:16, 17; Ps. 119:105; Prov. 30:5, 6; Isa. 8:20; John 17:17; 1 Thess. 2:13; Heb. 4:12.)
Fundamental Beliefs
Seventh-day Adventists accept the Bible as their only creed and hold
certain fundamental beliefs to be the teaching of the Holy Scriptures.
These beliefs, as set forth here, constitute the church's understanding
and expression of the teaching of Scripture. Revision of these
statements may be expected at a General Conference session when the
church is led by the Holy Spirit to a fuller understanding of Bible
truth or finds better language in which to express the teachings of
God's Holy Word. so this what we the youths have been have been learning on our meeting on sunday. when you are led by the Holy Spirit to a fuller understanding of Bible truth or finds better language in which to express the teachings of God's Holy Word.so as the youths we are doing this so as to understand the bible and know These beliefs, as set forth here, constitute the church's understanding and expression of the teaching of Scripture

We become more and more like him
BECOMING MORE CHRIST-LIKE
Becoming more Christ like doesn’t mean losing your individuality.
God created the characteristics that make you unique. Christ-likeness is about
transforming your character, not your personality. Paul writes: “take on an
entirely new way of life-a God-fashioned life, a life renewed from the inside
and working itself into your conduct as God accurately reproduces his character
in you.”(Eph 4:23-24).every time you forget that character , not comfort, is
God first priority , you become frustrated and wonder, “why is all this
happening to me? Why doesn’t God do something about it?” abundant life isn’t
the absence of adversity, its growth in the midst of it. “As the spirit of lord
works within us, we become more and more like him.” You say, “Yes, but how does
this happen in real life?” through our
choices-we choose to do the right thing, and then trust God’s spirit to give us the power, love, faith and
wisdom to do it. Since his spirit lives inside us, these things are
available for the asking. But when you ask God and he tells you what to do. You
must obey him. When Israel stood at the river Jordan, its floodwaters receded
only after they stepped in. obedience
unlocks God’s power! God waits for you to act on his instructions. You can
wait until you feel capable or confident; you must move ahead in your weakness,
doing the right thing in spite of your fears. That’s how you cooperate with the
Holy Spirit, and how Christ-like character develop in you
