He who seeks, finds.
To him who knocks, the door will be opened.
OUR FAITH
We believe in God the Father, and in his Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Spirit.
We believe in YAHWEH and his son YAHshua and in Ruah haKodesh.
"He who seeks will find"
(Matthew 7:8 and Luke 11:10).
If someone seeks God, God will gladly let him be found—that's God's promise. The following Bible passages confirm this:
“The LORD is with you if you are with him; and if you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will also forsake you.” (2 Chronicles 15:2)
"You will seek Me and find Me when you long for Me with all your heart, and I will let you find Me," declares the Lord. "I will restore your captivity and gather you from all the peoples and from all the places where I have driven you, declares the Lord, and I will bring you back to the place from which I brought you." (Jeremiah 29:13-14; Schl)
“Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you!” (James 4:8a; Schl)
God (Hebrew: Elohim ) loves His children and He is pleased when we spend time with Him. We can do this by reading the Bible, by praising and glorifying Him, and by worshipping Him. There are several creeds that summarize the Christian faith, with the Apostles' and Nicene Creeds being the most well-known. We have included our own creed below, as we can, with God's help,
God sacrificed His Son Jesus (Yahshua / Yeshua) for us on the cross so that we can be free from our sins and guilt.
With the sacrifice He has redeemed us from the power of Satan.
God wants us to repent and turn around and to follow His commandments (Exodus 20),
He rejoices over every child who returns to Him (Parable of the Prodigal Son Luke 15:11-32)
The Bible, the Word of God or Holy Scripture, with the Old and New Testaments, serves as a foundation for us Christians (followers of Jesus Christ).
Our creed
We believe in the God YHWH. He alone is the Eternal and Holy God. YHWH is our heavenly Father. He is the Almighty Creator of heaven and earth. (In Hebrew שָׁמַיִם -shamayim indicates multiple heavens).
Remember: God (YHWH) alone is the Holy Father for his children. (John 17:11)
We believe in God's only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, who became man without sin through the virgin birth (Isa. 7:14). Jesus led a sinless life on this earth (Joh 8:46) and gave his life on the cross on Golgotha as a vicarious sacrifice pleasing to God (Eph.5:2; Joh:10:17-18). He rose bodily from the dead on the third day (Matthew 28:1-10) and after forty days ascended into heaven (Acts 1:9-10) and now reigns at the right hand of God (Acts 7:55). .
Remember: Jesus Christ (Yeshua ha Mashiach) alone is the Mediator between God and man (1 Tim. 2:5; Heb. 9:15).
We believe in the Holy Spirit (this is the Spirit of God; Ruah haKodesch), who convinces people of sin, of sin, righteousness and judgment (John 16:8-11) and us leads to all truth and which works true repentance and faith, making believers children of God (Jn.3:5-7) and at the same time baptizing them in the body of Jesus Christ (1.Cor.12 13), sealed (Eph.1:13-14) and inhabited (1 Cor.6:19-20).
Remember: The Holy Spirit is our Comforter and Counselor. He is the Spirit of God.
We believe in ONE God who revealed HIMSELF in THREE different PERSONS (Trinity ) - God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, but ONE is in BEING, in ESSENCE and in GLORY and YET are these three people are unmistakable in their PERSONALITIES. We believe that GOD YHWH, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit are NEVER at odds with one another and that they ALWAYS act in perfect agreement! You are NOT three gods, but you are ONE god! Three people form an inseparable being! God YHWH, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit only have one will. They always work together; every slightest act of one has the instant assent of the other. You could say the three agree on everything. Man consists of body, soul and spirit. In the same way, GOD is to be understood as only ONE, consisting of the Father, the Son and the Spirit.
The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are equal (essentially equal) in power and glory. GOD the Father is functionally superior to Jesus and the Holy Spirit (both the Son and the Spirit are obedient to the Father).
We believe that all of Scripture (Old and New Testaments) is God's inspired Word (2 Tim. 3:16-17). The original scriptures are infallible, complete, sufficient, and of supreme, final authority (Matt. 4:3-11). The writers of the Holy Scriptures were people who were led and inspired by the Holy Spirit (2.Petr.1, 20+21). The words they wrote are God's infallible word in various human languages. We must interpret the words with the help of the Holy Spirit, taking into account the grammar, time and history of the time (1 Cor. 2:10 14).
Remember: The Holy Scriptures are only a certain excerpt from all the Scriptures inspired, written and composed by the Holy Spirit. Apocrypha are religious writings of Jewish or Christian origin from the period between about 200 BC and 400 AD that were not included in a biblical canon or there is disagreement about their affiliation, whether for reasons of content or religious policy, or because they were only published after completion of the canon were created or were not generally known at the time of its creation. This includes the Book of Enoch, the Book of Jubilees and much more
We believe in the forgiveness of sins. Jesus the Messiah is the substitutionary sacrifice at Calvary. We believe in the resurrection of the dead and eternal life. "Now this is eternal life, to know you, the only true God, and whom you sent, Jesus Christ." John 17:3Jesus died and rose from the dead. He is the first among us. After his ascension he became our intercessing high priest (Phil. 2. 5-8; 1.Petr. 2, 24-25; Luk.24; Hebr. 4, 14-16; Acts 1 ,9-11). Even if Jesus died for our guilt, God the Father asks us:
Repent, turn about! Keep my commandments
especially the first and fourth commandments.
1st Commandment: I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of slavery in Egypt. You shall have no other gods besides me.
4th Commandment: Remember the Sabbath , to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female
servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the
seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
Sabbath = seventh day = Saturday
The changed 10 Commandments
(Exodus 20:1-17)
-
On March 7, 321 AD, under Constantine, Sunday was established as a public holiday in honor of the sun god Sol.
-
Forty-three years after Constantine, the Church, through the Council of Laodicea, placed the "sanctity of Saturday/Sabbath" on Sunday . (Ezek. 22:26 / Matt. 15:9 / Dan. 7:25 / Isa. 56:3-8)
-
Under Augustine (356-430 AD), the Ten Commandments were changed in the Catechism of the Church. Two commandments were omitted, and the Fourth Commandment was changed. Furthermore, two commandments emerged from the Tenth Commandment (Ezek. 22:26 / Matt. 15:9 / Dan. 7:25).
For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
(John 3:16)
Jesus loves you!
Surrender prayer
"When I felt lonely and abandoned, when I had no hope left, I cried out to God, and he helped me in my distress. I felt the dark cloud of sorrow lift from me, and I was filled with God's light, warmth, and peace. Do you also want to be saved? Then repeat the following prayer."
Dear Father in Heaven,
I give you my life. I recognize that I am a sinner and that, on my own, I have no way of standing righteously before you, great and almighty God. But through Jesus Christ, your only begotten Son, you have cleared the way for me to come to you and have fellowship with you. I now accept this for myself.
I accept that Jesus died for me, rose from the dead, and now lives for me.
I accept the sacrificial death of Jesus for me, which he suffered on my behalf on the cross of Calvary. I thank him that his blood was shed for my sins. I willingly claim it for myself.
YAHWEH, my God, I repent for things I have done wrong, knowingly or unknowingly. I ask that You lead me into a process of purification, sanctification, and growth.
I want to live differently than before. I want to live in a way that pleases You. Please let me grow and mature spiritually.
I accept all that Jesus has done for me. I accept him as my Lord, my Savior, and my Redeemer.
I surrender my life to you with all my worries, troubles, fears, complaints, illnesses, pain, depression, self-reproach and all other negative qualities and sins.
Please take control of my life. Please grant me wisdom, truth, and knowledge, as well as Your Holy Spirit, and be my constant companion.
Fill my heart and shape me the way you want me to be.
Thanks.
In Jesus' name Amen
