Basic Belief

The Scriptures (Phau Ntawv Vajlugkub)

The Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired. God reveals Himself to man through his Words.

Phau ntawv Vajlugkub yog cov txivneej uas Vajtswv tus Ntsujplig tshooj lawv lub siab sau. Vajtswv qhia rau neeg ntiajteb paub txog Nws los ntawm Nws Txojlus.

God (Vajtswv)

There is one and only one living and true God. The eternal God reveals Himself to us as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, with distinct personal attributes, but without division of nature, essence, or being.

Mauj ib tug Vajtswv xwb, tus uas muaj txojsia thiab tus ib txwm nyob. Vajtswv qhia peb Nws yog peb LeejTxiv, LeejTub, thiab tus Ntsujplig.

God the Father (Vajtswv Peb LeejTxiv)

God as Father reigns over His universe, creatures, and human history according to the purposes of His grace.

Vajtswv kav lub ntuj lub teb, txhua yam Nws tsim tau nyob.

God the Son (Vajtswv Peb LeejTub)

Jesus Christ is Son of God. He was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He was without sin, died on the cross, and made provision for the redemption of men from sin.

Yexus Kethos, tus ib txwm yog Vajtswv LeejTub, Nws yog Maivliag yug los ntawm Vajtswv tus Ntsujplig. Nws los tuag saum tus khaublig ntoo txij peb neeg ntiajteb lub txim kom peb muaj feem rov qab mus nrog Nws nyob suam ntuj ceebtsheej.

God the Holy Spirit (Vajtswv Tus Uas Yog Ntsujplig)

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God. He lives among and empowers the believer and the church in worship, evangelism, and service.

Tus Ntsujplig yog Vajtswv tus Ntsujplig. Nws tseem nrog cov ntseeg nyob niaj hnub ntawv no. Nws txhawb thiab pab cov ntseeg lub zog.

Man (Neeg)

God created man in His own image and was perfect, but man sinned against God of his own free will and brought sin into the human race. Because man is sacred, as evident in that God created man in His own image, and in that Christ died for man, every man possesses dignity and is worthy of respect and Christian love.

Salvation (Vajtswv txojkev zamtxim rau neeg ntiajteb),

Salvation involves the redemption of the whole man, and is offered freely to all who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, who by His own blood obtained eternal redemption for the believer. In its broadest sense salvation includes regeneration, sanctification, and glorification.

Vajtswv twb txib nws Leejtub los tuag theej peb lub txhoj lawm. Peb thiaj muaj cai los mus cuag Vajtswv, nrog Vajtswv sib raug zoo, rov los ua Nws haivneeg. Yog leejtwg ntseeg nws yuav thiab coj lub neeg raws li Vajtswv txojlus qhia, tus ntawd yuav tau mus saum ntuj ceebtsheej mus ib txhis.

The Church

The church is the Lord Jesus Christ's body of baptized believers.

The Lord's Supper is a symbolic act of obedience whereby members memorialize the death of the Redeemer and anticipate His second coming.

Family

The family has been ordained as the foundational institution of human society by God. Marriage is the unity between one man and one woman in covenant commitment, under God, for a lifetime.
