The faith has been given once for all to the saints (Jude 3). It does not change from generation to generation. Yet, each of those generations must discover faith for itself. What is it that makes us truly glorify God? What is it that changes our lives by bringing into them God’s glory and holiness?

Here are our answers:

• We worship the One, all-powerful God, the Creator of the universe, in three Persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
• We approach Him only through the mediation of Jesus Christ. Our Lord is fully God and fully man. He came down from heaven, has lived a perfect life and willingly agreed to die as a ransom for sinners. He has risen from the dead and now rules forever. He will come back in glory to judge the living and those who died.
• We confess our own sinfulness and lack of power; our need of God's grace; the forgiveness of sins and the need for our lives to be changed. In seeking these things we rely on God's help alone.
• We proclaim the need to be born again by God, which begins a new life of obedience and faith in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour.
• We are thankful that we are justified by faith through his death and for the life changing gift of the presence of the Holy Spirit.
  
• We rely on our faith in God's Word, which is the Bible (containing 66 books of the Old and New Testaments). Because of this, we treat the Scriptures with the highest possible respect, and as the only infallible guide from God containing His will for our lives.
• We see our lives as a time of service, in which we deny ourselves and change our lives through the sanctifying power of the Spirit, according to the pattern given to us by the life of Jesus Christ. We see sanctification as the inevitable fruit of true, saving faith.
• We submit to the Spirit, who joins us into the visible body of Christ. This body exists as local churches, which are to preach the Gospel faithfully; baptise converted sinners in the name of the Father, Son and Spirit; meet around the Lord's Table and guard the authenticity of the faith by disciplining its members.
• We warn about eternal damnation in hell, which is God's just penalty for all who who do not accept the Gospel.
• We expect heaven – a new reality, in which God will be for ever our Father, and we will be for ever to Him His people.
  

Lord, please, come!
