OFFICIAL STATEMENT
"In infinite love and mercy God made Christ, who knew no sin, to be sin for us, so that in Him we might be made the righteousnessof God. Led by the Holy Spirit we sense our need, acknowledge our sinfulness, repent of our transgressions, andexercise faith in Jesus as Savior and Lord, Substitute and Example. This saving faith comes through the divine power of theWord and is the gift of God's grace. Through Christ we are justified, adopted as God's sons and daughters, and deliveredfrom the lordship of sin. Through the Spirit we are born again and sanctified; the Spirit renews our minds, writes God's lawof love in our hearts, and we are given the power to live a holy life. Abiding in Him we become partakers of the divinenature and have the assurance of salvation now and in the judgment."
