God
God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God
Genesis 1:1,26,27; Genesis 3:22; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19; I Peter 1:2; II Corinthians 13:14
Mankind
We are all made in the spritual image fo God, to be like Him in character. We are the supreme object of God's creation. Although mankind has tremendous potentional for good, we are marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God call "sin". This attitude separates us from God.
Genesis 1:27; Psalm 8:3-6; Isaiah 53:6a; Romans 3:23; Isaiah 59:1-2
Eternity
We are all created to exist forever. We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin or in union with God through forgiveness and salvation. The place of eternal separation from God is called "hell". Heaven is the place of eternal union and eternal life with God.
John 3:16; Romans 6:23; Revelation 20:15; Matthew 25:41; Revelation 21:27
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of al by dying on the cross. He arose from teh dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven's glory and will return to earth to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

Salvation
Salvation is a gift from God to mankind. We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus as God's offer to forgiveness can we be saved from sin's penalty. Eternal life begins the moment we receive Jesus Christ into our life by faith.
Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8,9; John 14:6; John 1:12; Titus 3:5; Galatians 3:26; Romans 5:1
Eternal Security
Because God gives us eternal ife through Jesus Christ the believe is secure in the salvation for eternity. Salvation is maintained by the grace and power of God, not by the self-effort of the Christian. It is the grace and keepng power of God that gives this security.

The Holy Spirit is equal with the Father and Son as God. He is present in the world to make mankind aware of our needs for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth and guidance in doing what is right. The Christian seeks to live under His control daily.
