  • We turn to the entire Bible as a revelation of Jesus Christ.
    Luke 24:27; 2 Timothy 3:16
  • We remember that it was by Jesus Christ that God created all things and that by Him they are upheld.
    John 1:3; Colossians 1:16-17; Hebrews 1:3

  • We have hope in the soon personal return of Jesus Christ.
    Titus 2:13; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; Matthew 24
  • We find in the Ten Commandments Christ's code of conduct, and expect that the believer will evidence the indwelling of Christ by the demonstration of spiritual fruit.
    John 14:15; Matthew 5:17-19; Hebrews 8:10; Galatians 5:22-23; Philippians 4:13
  • We believe that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit and that we should glorify Christ in every habit and practice.
    Corinthians 10:31
  • We understand that there is no intrinsic life in man, and that any life, present or eternal, is by virtue of Jesus Christ, the Source of life.
    Psalms 104:29; John 15:6; John 11:25
  • We enjoy the seventh-day Sabbath as a reminder of Christ's creative power and as evidence of His redemptive power which is found in the spiritual rest from the burden of sin.
    Genesis 2:1-3; Mark 2:27-28; Ezekiel 20:12; Hebrews 4:4-9
  • We believe that the testimony of Jesus, the spirit of prophecy, will be manifest in God's remnant church.

  • We are confident that the final judgement will be in favour of those who trust in Christ.
    Timothy 5:24; Acts 17:31; Daniel 7:21-22
  • We feel constrained by the love of Christ to share the witness of His blessings to all men everywhere.

  • And finally, we anticipate that Christ will share eternal life with all those who accept His plan, and that these redeemed persons will inherit a restored planet from which all sin and selfishness will have been removed. Then, in a society of perfect trust and confidence, they will enjoy to the full the wonders of God's universe.
    Matthew 5:5; John 14:1-3; Revelation 21:1-8
