Christian Living Statement of Beliefs |
||
|
The Christian A true Christian is one in whom the Holy Spirit dwells. His attitude of mind and behavior are consistent with the teachings and life of Jesus Christ; he follows God's way of life as expressed through His laws and respects his fellowman by being concerned with "giving" rather than "getting." A Christian strives for success in all areas of his active, abundant life. The Christian Relationship with God A Christian's personal relationship with God is fundamental to his current spiritual condition and his ultimate spiritual state. Prayer, Bible study, meditation, fasting and serving fellow human beings are the chief means by which such a relationship is initially established and continually deepened. The Christian Relationship with Fellow Man Just as man has an obligation toward his Creator, he also has responsibilities toward his fellowman. A Christian must love his neighbor as himself, regardless of his neighbor's racial, ethnic, religious or social background; he must be a light to the world by setting a proper example, and he must do good toward all men as the opportunity arises. The Christian Family The marriage relationship is the basis of the family, which in turn is the core of a stable society. As the primary physical analogy of God's plan for mankind, marriage, child rearing and the family are given preeminent place in the teachings of the Bible and the church. Although roles are defined, men and women have equal spiritual potential before God. Christian living is about manifesting faith. It is about working all elements of the salvation process he or she was called to. Chief among those elements is overcoming sin and developing the mind and character of Christ. |
