LWC Statement of Faith
 
 
We Believe

* the Bible to be the inspired, infallible and authoritative word of God

* that there is one God, eternally existent in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit (The Trinity).

* the Father is the Creator and Sustainer of all things.  He made humankind in his own image and relates to us as a loving,   holy Father

* in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His atoning death on the cross, in His bodily resurrection from the dead, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return to earth in power and glory

* in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life and gifted for effective service in the Kingdom of God.

* that Christ’s gracious offering of Himself on the cross is the only grounds for salvation from sin.  Salvation comes when an individual turns from sin and trusts fully in the saving work of Jesus Christ

* in the resurrection of the dead; they that are saved into Heaven and its eternal glory, and they that are lost into hell and its everlasting separation from God

* that the Christian church is the entire universal body of believers in Jesus Christ.  We believe that a local church is a body of believers organized together for the purposes of worship, fellowship, discipleship and witness

* that water baptism and the Lord’s Supper are the sacraments of the church instituted by Christ


How to Experience New Life in Christ

*Everyone is a sinner and is separated from God. "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God"  Romans 3:23

*God loved us all so much that He gave His Son to die for our sins.  "But God demonstrates his own love for us, in that, while we were still sinners, Christ dies for us"  Romans 5:8

*Death means separation forever from God.  Eternal life comes by trusting Jesus Christ.  "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord"  Romans 6:23

*In order to begin your new life in Christ (be saved), you must believe that Jesus died for your sins and declare that you accept Him as Savior.  "If you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."  Romans 10:9

*This is God's promise to you "For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."  Romans 10:13

 
*If you would like to accept Jesus now, pray the following prayer.

Dear God,
I know I have sinned and I want to ask for your forgiveness. 
I believe that Jesus died for my sins.  I now accept your offer of eternal life. 
I will follow Jesus as my Savior and try to obey Him in all that I do. 
Thank you for my new life, in the name of Jesus I pray.  Amen.
