As members of Teach
His Word Resource Centre, we believe in the following doctrines of the Christian
Faith in accordance with the Scriptures:-
- Concerning the Bible
The Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are inspired by God
and thus infallible, completely reliable, and the supreme authority in all
matters of faith and practice.
- Concerning God
There is one true God,
eternally existent in three Persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – and
entirely sovereign over creation, history, revelation, salvation, and final
judgment.
- Concerning our Lord
Jesus Christ
He is God incarnate, was
born of the virgin Mary, lived a sinless human life and performed divine
miracles; He died as a vicarious, atoning sacrifice by shedding His blood for
our sins and to destroy the works of Satan; He was raised bodily from the dead,
ascended to heaven, continues His mediatorial work, and will personally return
in power and glory.
- Concerning the Holy
Spirit
The Holy Spirit was sent by
the Father to bear witness to His Son; His power is essential for the
regeneration of sinners, and His indwelling presence in all believers is vital
for their progressive sanctification and witness.
- Concerning Man
Created originally in the
image of God, man became a fallen, lost and sinful being, who can be redeemed
and restored to fellowship with God only by grace through personal faith in
Christ, apart from works.
- Concerning the Church
Through their union with
the Head all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ are one in His Spirit and
belong to His Body, the Church, which is committed to fulfil His Great
Commission, by declaring His Gospel, discipling converts in all nations and
discharging its social responsibilities for the common good and for His glory.
- Concerning the Future
At Christ’s return, there
will be the bodily resurrection of all the dead – of believers to eternal
blessedness, and of unbelievers to eternal punishment – and the perfection of
the glorious Kingdom of God in a new heaven and a new earth.
