As a people, we hold the Bible in supreme regard
as the revealer of God's truth to guide us in salvation. Our
love and devotion focuses on Jesus Christ, whom we worship
as our Savior, Creator, Lord, and King.
We believe that forgiveness, healing, and eternal
life are offered freely to all on the basis of what Jesus
has already accomplished for us at the cross and continues
to do as He ministers on our behalf in the heavenly sanctuary
above. God's mercy and grace are infinite, and are received
by faith to prepare for Jesus' second coming.
The "new covenant" provides not only forgiveness
for sin, but also God's promise to write His law on our hearts
so that our greatest joy will be to do His will. We keep His
commandments, not in order to be saved, but because He has
already encircled us in His saving arms. His law includes
also the fourth commandment, Sabbath, which invites us to
spend a special time of fellowship with Him on the seventh
day of the week.
We feel compelled as a people to share with
a perishing world these messages of God's love in the context
of the final judgment hour message of Revelation 14. Because
of our devotion to Jesus, we look forward to His soon return
in the clouds of heaven when we shall see our Savior face
to face.
