My statement of Faith

Statement of faith for Patrick Bradway.

I believe that all scripture is from God and is supported by the life of Jesus Christ. I believe that the bible is accurate and applicable to today as it was in the days it was written. I believe that God’s plan is for the redemption of all mankind for those who call on His name and believe that he sent His Son to take the punishment and judgment for our sins. I stand firm on the belief that God’s plan is eternal, without end, and that He exists outside of our time but is fully interactive within our time and with us. I believe that God works though each part of His character, though His Son and though his Spirit and that each part works together to glorify His name. I believe that man was created for a purpose to have a relationship with but because of sin was separated from that relationship and needed reconciliation. That reconciliation came though Jesus becoming a man, living a sinless, God honoring and selfless life and accomplished that which all other sacrifices could not do, a personal and intimate relationship between God and man though Jesus by placing my faith in the person of Jesus. I believe that the church was and is God’s plan to reach a world that is lost in sin. I do not believe that the church is perfect, when it first began and I do not believe it is perfect now. I believe that God choses to use imperfect people and imperfect churches to go out and share the gospel of Jesus. Our role as the church is to participate in out reach and ministry and to support those who ministry to the church though tithes and giving. I believe that God is living and active and Heaven and Hell are realities that exist and each are full of people who know that Jesus is real and has defeated death. I believe God’s plan for my life is unique but is not meant for my alone but is meant for me to impact those around me and share the story of Jesus with those that He has put into my life. I believe that all of this is done though partnerships with Churches and organization. I love Jesus and I know the call He has for my life.
