What We Believe
At Abiding Savior, we believe the following:
- Jesus is the only way of salvation.
John 14:6 "Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me."
- The Bible is God's inspired and inerrant Word for faith and life.
John 17:17 "Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth."
II Timothy 3:16 "All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness;"
- The main task of the church is proclaiming the Gospel of Christ for the salvation of souls and maturing of believers.
I Corinthians 15:1-4 "Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received, in which also you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain.
For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,"
- Believers are to lovingly be salt and light in the world.
Matthew 5:13-14 “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has become tasteless, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men.
“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden;
- Each congregation should be free and living, subject only to the Word of God.
II Corinthians 3:17 "Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty."
- True Christian unity between church fellowships must be based on faith in Jesus Christ alone and obedience to His Word.
John 17:11 "I am no longer in the world; and yet they themselves are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name which You have given Me, that they may be one even as We are."
- Jesus is coming again!
John 14:1-3 “Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also."
