Emmaus Road Church Statement of Faith

YOU WILL KNOW THE RISEN CHRIST ON THE
ROAD TO EMMAUS Luke 24

• We believe God inhabits the praises of His people.  He has led us to worship openly with our whole hearts, humbling ourselves before Him.  Psalm 22:3

• We believe in the doctrine of the Trinity, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, three persons in one substance - the one triune God.  Deuteronomy 6:4

• We believe that Jesus is the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE.  No one comes to the Father but through Him.  John 14:6

• We believe that God loves us with an undying love, but He is so pure He can’t even look upon sin.  Sin separates us from God.

• We believe that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God, and the wages of sin is death.  Therefore, we all deserve death.  But Jesus Christ came and took the punishment for us on a hill called Calvary.  Jesus, very God in the flesh, took our sins upon Himself so He could impute His righteousness to us, and that we might have life through Him.  Romans 3:23, 6:23, 2 Corinthians 5:21

• We believe that Christianity is not so much living according to a religious code, but a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.  Galatians 5:16-18

• We believe that the Bible is God’s word, free of error, right down to the dotting of the “I” and crossing of the “T”.  It is the standard of righteousness.

• We believe in all the spiritual gifts of the Holy Spirit written in Ephesians 4:12-16, 1 Corinthians 12-14, and Romans 12:5-8

• We as a church are looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.  Titus 2:13
