Statement of Faith

Jesus & Jiu Jitsu Statement of Faith

 

The Bible

 

We believe that the Holy Spirit inspired human authors to write the books of the Bible and that it is the infallible and authoritative Word of God. We believe scripture is sufficient above all things and is the ultimate authority and starting point for all areas of life and theology.
2 Timothy 3:16-17, Romans 16:25-26, Psalm 19:7-10, 2 Peter 1:20-21

 

Jesus

Jesus Christ is the Son of God and an equal to the Father and the Holy Spirit; through him all things were made. He became flesh by the Holy Spirit through the virgin Mary and lived a sinless life. He accomplished our redemption through his obedience and death, crucified on a Roman cross. In his death, he fully discharged the debt of all those that are thus justified and provided the propitiation of their sins on their behalf. After three days in the grave, he defeated sin and death by rising from the grave, and ascended to Heaven and will return to earth one day to reign as King.

The Trinity

There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal, co-eternal, perfect in holiness, infinite in wisdom, and measureless in power.

The Holy Spirit

We believe The Holy Spirit is God; He is the Supernatural Agent in regeneration, baptizing all believers into the body of Christ, indwelling and sealing them unto the day of redemption. He empowers the saints for service and witness, cleanses man from the old nature and conforms us to the image of Christ.

Salvation

We believe we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. Salvation is the gift of God brought to man by grace and received by personal faith, without works, in the Lord Jesus Christ. Christ-followers are credited as righteous through faith alone. They are completely justified in Jesus. We believe that works are the fruit of Salvation.
