We believe that, as King, God later redeemed His people by His mighty acts from bondage in Egypt and established His covenant through Moses, revealing His perfect will and our obligation to fulfill it. In the covenant with Abraham, God bound Himself to His people Israel, promising to deliver them from bondage to sin and Satan and to bless all the nations through them. In order to bring redemption, God established covenants which revealed His grace to sinful people. We believe that God did not abandon his rule over the earth which He continues to uphold by His providence. Genesis 1:26-27 Genesis 1:26 Genesis 3:1 Revelation 12:9 Genesis 3:8 Romans 1:21 Romans 5:16 Romans 5:12 John 5:14 1 Corinthians 15:22 John 8:44 1 John 5:19 Romans 8:20-23 Psalm 51:5 Ezekiel 18:4 Romans 2:5 Romans 2:12 Hebrews 9:27 Galatians 1:3-5 Galatians 4:8-9 Colossians 1:13 God’s Providence, Kingdom Law and Covenants Human beings are born in sin, subject to God’s judgment of death and captive to Satan’s kingdom of darkness. Creation now experiences the consequences and effects of Adam’s original sin. Through the fall, Satan and his demonic hosts gained access to God’s good creation. Under the temptation of Satan, our original parents fell from grace, bringing sin, sickness and God’s judgment of death to the earth.
We believe that God created mankind in His own image, male and female, for relationship with Himself and to govern the earth.
Revelation 12:7-9 2 Corinthians 11:14 Colossians 1:13-14 Ephesians 6:12 Mark 3:22-26 Ephesians 2:1-2 1 John 5:19 The Kingdom in the Creation of Man, The Fall and the Doctrine of Original Sin He was cast out of God’s presence and, as a usurper of God’s rule, established a counter-kingdom of darkness and evil on the earth. We believe that Satan, originally a great, good angel, rebelled against God, taking a host of angels with him. From His throne, through His Son, His eternal Word, God created, upholds and governs all that exists: The heavenly places, the angelic hosts, the universe, the earth, every living thing and mankind. We believe that God’s kingdom is everlasting. From all eternity He exists as the One Living and True God in three persons of one substance, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, equal in power and glory.ĭeuteronomy 33:27 Romans 1:20 Psalm 95:3 Isaiah 43:15 Psalm 147:5 Job 11:7-9 James 1:17 John 4:24 Matthew 5:48 Isaiah 6:3 1 Peter 1:15-16 Psalm 104:24 Proverbs 2:6 Isaiah 28:29 Exodus 33:19 Psalm 63:2 Psalm 31:19 Psalm 33:5 Psalm 89:14 Isaiah 30:18 Exodus 15:6 1 John 4:8 Isaiah 43:13 Isaiah 45:5 1 Corinthians 8:4 Psalm 42:2 Jeremiah 10:10 John 1:18 John 10:30 John 14:9 John 14:16-17 John 14:26 John 15:26 2 Corinthians 3:17-18 Revelation 1:4 Revelation 5:13 Ephesians 3:14-21 God the King: The Creator and Ruler of All Things He is an infinite, unchangeable Spirit, perfect in holiness, wisdom, goodness, justice, power and love.
