Friendship Missionary Baptist Church of Sugar Land
I. God there is one eternally existing God who has three distinct persons, God the Father, God the Son, and God The Holy Spirit. He is the creator of all that exists both visible and invisible and is therefore worthy of all glory and praise. God is perfect in love, power, holiness, goodness, knowledge, wisdom, justice, and mercy.
2. In Revelation God has revealed himself to us through his son Jesus Christ who is the visible image of the invisible God the holy scriptures and through all of creation itself.
3. Mankind humans both male and female were created in Gods image for his glory the first humans Adam and Eve were created without sin and appointed as caretakers of the rest of God’s creation.
4. The fall when Adam and Eve chose not to obey God the ceased to be what they were made to be and became distorted images of God. This caused the to fall out of the fellowship with God and fractured all of the creation ever since that time.
5. Salvation through Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ came to reconcile us with God. He lived without sin and willingly died on the cross to pay the pencil penalty for our transgressions God raised him from the Dead and now by Grace offers as a free eternal life to all who put their belief in Christ by faith as their Lord and Savior.
6. The Church-The Church is meant to be the visible body of Christ sent into the world to glorify God and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.
7. Resurrection-Jesus Christ is returning one day to judge both the living and the dead and to usher in the fullness of God’s Kingdom on earth.
