Confession of Faith
We believe in God the Father, who delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son (Col 1:13).
We believe in God the Son, even Jesus, who commands us to repent “for the kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Mt 4:17). His kingdom is a matter of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit (Rom 14:17) and it belongs even to children and those who receive it like a child (Lk 18:17f).
We believe in God the Holy Spirit, who blows where He wishes to give life for “unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God” (Jn 3:3).
We believe this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come (Mt 24:14). People will come from east and west, and from north and south, and recline at table in the kingdom of God (Lk 13:29). We rejoice in this, for “Blessed is everyone eats bread in the kingdom of God!” (Lk 14:15)
