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.)

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
