What is a Presbyterian?

Presbyterians are first Christians, and we share our faith with all Christians in every denomination. We Christian Presbyterians believe:

1. God is all powerful, Sovereign, Holy and eternal. Everything God does is sinless and absolutely pure.

2. God sent Jesus into this world as God in the flesh.

3. Salvation is by grace alone. We are saved by grace through faith. All are sinful by nature and have fallen short of the Glory of God. Because we cannot make ourselves righteous to God, salvation has to be by only grace.

4. The Bible is the Word of God, and is God's self revelation. God has revealed to us everything He wills us to know.

We believe that God sent Jesus to be crucified on the cross to become our sin.  Because God is just, He cannot allow sin to go unpunished. So Jesus Christ became our sin on the cross and bore the punishment of God to satisfy God’s justice. So because our sin was punished in Jesus Christ, now through faith in Jesus Christ, God is both the just and the justifier. When God declares the person who believes in Jesus Christ to be just in his sight God is just. We are not saved by works, but for works.                                                                                                                              Romans 1:17-the just will live by faith.
