Our Beliefs
WE BELIEVE THAT ALL OF MANKIND ARE MADE IN THE IMAGO DEI. THIS IS A PRECIOUS TERM THAT MEANS THE “IMAGE OF GOD” (GENESIS 1:27).
GOD FORMS AND SHAPES ALL CHILDREN IN THE WOMB; WE BELIEVE THE IMAGE OF GOD IS STAMPED ON EVERY HUMAN BEING AT THE MOMENT OF CONCEPTION (PSALM 139:13-16; JEREMIAH 1:5).
THEREFORE, WE BELIEVE THAT TERMINATION OF ANY STAGE OF PREGNANCY IS MURDER IN THE EYES OF GOD AND SHOULD BE REJECTED AS LAWFUL (GENESIS 9:6; EXODUS 20:13).
ALL PEOPLE PRESENT AND YET TO COME SHALL BE PROTECTED BY LAW BECAUSE OF THIS REALITY.EVERY GOOD THING REFLECTS THE CHARACTER OF GOD. WHEN GOD MADE MAN ON THE 6TH DAY HE SAID THAT MAN WAS VERY GOOD (GENESIS 1:31).
THOUGH MAN HAS FALLEN AWAY FROM GOD AND HAS BEEN CORRUPTED BY SIN (ROMANS 3:9-19, 23; PSALM 51:5; MARK 7:21; EPHESIANS 5:8; JEREMIAH 17:9, 23; ECCLESIASTES 7:20; JOHN 3:19).
MAN, STILL BEING A CREATION FROM GOD IS STILL A VERY GOOD THING. BEARING THE IMAGE OF GOD RENDERS ALL MEN WORTHY OF LOVE, DIGNITY AND RESPECT FROM THEIR FELLOW MAN.
THIS BEING SAID; WE MAY BE CREATED IN GODS IMAGE BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN WE ARE ALL CHILDREN OF GOD. THE CHILDREN OF GOD ARE THOSE WHO HAVE REPENTED AND PUT THEIR FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST (JOHN 1:12) MAN IS SINFUL; AND MUST COME TO A POINT OF SORROW AND REMORSE OVER THEIR SIN TO BE FORGIVEN BY JESUS CHRIST. THIS MEANS THAT EVERY PERSON MUST BE BORN AGAIN. (ECCLESIASTES 7:29; ROMANS 3:10-12; 2 CORINTHIANS 7:10; JOHN 3:3).
OUR PRAYER IS THAT MANKIND MAY LEARN NOT LOVE SELF BUT TO LOVE GOD AND TO LOVE ALL IMAGE BEARERS OF GOD EXPONENTIALLY MORE; AS GOD AND HIS CREATION OF MAN ARE PRECIOUS AND A THING TO MARVEL AND BEHOLD
