Christ our King Lutheran Church is a congregation
that believes and teaches that:
-
- 1. The only true God is the triune God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit; three distinct persons in one divine being (The Holy Trinity).
-
-
- 2. Human beings were created holy by God but lost this holiness through disobedience. Since the fall of Adam, everyone is born disobedient and separated from God. We are therefore incapable of pleasing God or even coming to Him on our own.
-
- 3. God loves us in spite of our disobedience. He loves us so much that He sent His Son Jesus to take the punishment that we deserve because of our disobedience.
-
- 4. Jesus Christ, true God and Man, lived a holy and perfect life on earth, suffered and died on the cross in our place for our sins, and rose again to prove His victory over sin and death for the forgiveness of all people.
-
- 5. Full and free forgiveness is offered to everyone. Jesus took our sins to the cross and through faith covers us with His own perfectness (the Bible calls it “righteousness”). Those who believe in Jesus as their personal Savior and accept His forgiveness, face life with a new joy and a greater confidence.
-
- 6. The Holy Spirit wants to plant this belief in everyone through the power of God's Word, the Bible, which we believe to be Gods inspired revelation of Himself to us.
-
- 7. The Church is composed of all those who rely on Him for forgiveness and eternal life and follow His teachings.
-
- 8. Christ will come again visibly at the end of time as the righteous Judge of the world, raise all from the dead, and give to believers in Christ eternal life.
