GOD
God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. The Godhead exists in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
All three persons of the Godhead are equal in power and form one God.
Gen1:1,26-27,3:22; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19; 1 Peter 1:2; 2 Corinthians 13:14
JESUS CHRIST
Jesus Christ is the second person of the trinity. He is the only begotten Son of God. He is equal with the Father. He came in full deity to earth, in flesh and blood, lived a sinless life, though tempted as a man, was sacrificed on the cross for the sins of the world, was raised again by the Father after three days, and now sits as judge of mankind at the right hand of the Father in heaven. He will come again to take his believers with Him to eternally reign by His side forevermore.
Matthew 1:22,23; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1-5; 14:10-30; Hebrews 4:14,15; 1 Corinthians 15:3,4; Romans 1:3,4; Acts 1:9-11; 1 Timothy 6:14,15; Titus 2:13
THE HOLY SPIRIT
The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Godhead. He is equal with God, yet different in function. He lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with the power for living, understanding spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right.
2 Corinthians 3:17; John 16:7-13, 14:16,17; Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 2:12, 3:16; Ephesians 1:13; Galatians 5:25; Ephesians 5:18
MAN
Man is made in the spiritual image of God. He is the supreme object of God’s creation. Man is born into sin and by this sin is separate from God. Man is unable to save himself.
Genesis 1:27; Psalm 8:3-6; Isaiah 53:6a; Romans 3:23; Isaiah 59:1,2
SALVATION
Salvation is a free gift of God to man. Man can never make up for his sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as the atonement for sin can man be saved from sin’s penalty.
Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8,9; John 14:6; 1:12; Titus 3:5; Galatians 3:26; Romans 5:1
