Risen Christ Lutheran Church is a
congregation that believes and teaches that:-
- 1. Human beings were created holy by God but lost this
holiness through disobedience. We are still disobedient as evidenced by
our inability to keep the Ten Commandments perfectly.
-
- 2. God loves us in spite of our disobedience. He loves us so
much that He sent His Son Jesus to take the punishment that we deserve
because of our disobedience.
-
- 3. Jesus Christ, true God and Man, lived a holy and perfect
life on earth, suffered and died on the cross in our place for our sins,
and rose again to prove His victory over sin and death for the
forgiveness of all people.
-
- 4. Full and free forgiveness is offered to everyone. Jesus
took our sins to the cross and through faith covers us with His own
perfectness (the Bible calls it “righteousness”). Those who believe in
Jesus as their personal Savior and accept His forgiveness, face life
with a new joy and a greater confidence.
-
- 5. The Holy Spirit wants to impart this belief in everyone
through the power of God's Word, the Bible, which we believe to be Gods
inspired revelation of Himself to us.
-
- 6. The Church is composed of all those who rely on Him for
forgiveness and eternal life and follow His teachings.
-
- 7. Christ will come again visibly at the end of time as the
righteous Judge of the world, raise all from the dead, and give to
believers in Christ eternal life.
