God, the Creator, Ruler of the universe, eternally exists in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  These three, known as the Trinity, are co-equal and are one God. 

Gen 1:1, 26-27, 3:22; Ps. 90:2; Mat. 28:19; 2 Cor. 13:14; 1 Pet. 1:2

Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is equal with the Father.  Jesus became fully man, lived a sinless human life, and then offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on a cross.  After three days He rose from the dead, demonstrating His power over sin and death, and ascended to Heaven.  He will one day return to reign as King of kings and Lord over all lords.

Isa. 9:6; Mat. 1:22-23; John 1:1-5; 14:10-30; Acts 1:9-11; Rom. 1:3-4; 1 Cor. 15:3-4; Heb. 4:14-15; 1 Tim. 6:14-15; Tit. 2:13

The Holy Spirit, equal with the Father and the Son of God, is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ.  He lives in every Christian from the moment of Salvation and provides every Christ follower with power for living, for understanding spiritual truth, and for guidance in doing right.  Scripture challenges all Christ followers to seek to be constantly filled with the Holy Spirit and to daily live under His control. The Holy Spirit gives spiritual gifts.  Christ followers supremely regard the fruit of the Spirit's presence in the lives of believers.

Mat. 7:22-23; John 16:7-13, 14:16-17; Acts 1:4, 5, 8; 1 Cor. 2:12, 3:16; 2 Cor. 3:17; Eph. 1:13, 5:18; Gal. 5:25

The Bible, God's Word to man, was written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit.  Inspired by God, the Bible is truth without mixture of error, the source of Christian beliefs, and the final authority for living.

Ps. 119: 105,160; Pro. 30:5; 2 Tim. 1:13, 3:15-16; 2 Pet. 1:20-21

People, made in the spiritual image of God to be like Him in character, are the supreme objects of God's creation. Through Christ, all people have tremendous potential for good, but all are marred by disobedience toward their Creator, which God calls sin. 

Gen. 1:27; Ps. 8:3-6; Isa. 53:6a, 59:1-2; Rom. 3:23

Salvation, God's offered redemption for sin, is provided through the shed blood of Jesus Christ on the cross.  All who, by faith, turn from self-rule to Jesus Christ are forgiven by God and freed from the penalty of sin. No sin is beyond God's ability or willingness to forgive.  Salvation, given by grace, is not attained through self-improvement or good works.  The person who believes that Jesus rose from the dead and who confesses that Jesus is Lord of his life is saved and is made a new spiritual creation.

John 14:6; Rom. 5:1, 6:23; Gal. 3:26; Eph. 2:8-9; Tit. 3:5

Eternity, God's plan for man to live forever, will be spent in either of two real places--Heaven or Hell.  People will live forever with God in Heaven through Salvation or be separated forever from God in Hell because of sin.  Jesus Christ will return to Earth, and it is the responsibility of each Christ follower to be ready to meet Him.  

John 3:16, 14:17; Rom. 6:23, 8:17-18; 1 Cor. 2:7-9; Rev. 20:15
