“Faith” is not primarily a feeling, but a reasonable and sound confidence in the truthfulness of everything found in the Bible—beginning with the person and work of Jesus Christ.
Biblical content in fact rightly invokes feelings of joy, gladness and hope. But our response to personal Biblical study, Biblical preaching, and Biblical teaching, must also include a convinced mind and a determined will to love and obey Jesus Christ.
It is the Scriptures that teach us God’s will, from which we can distill and extract—in thoughtful ways—exactly what God wants us to know, and clearly what He wants us to be and do as one of Jesus’ disciples.
Matthew 28:18-20: “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
See below a condensed list of life changing beliefs we publicly confess to be the life-changing teachings of the Bible:
While this list is a very condensed list of our faith, a more expansive treatment of it is found in the Westminster Confession of Faith. We never hold it equal to Scripture, but as a teaching tool that summarizes the Doctrine of Holy Scripture (we also say that it contains the system of doctrine taught in the Holy Scriptures) it is unsurpassed. The Confession is not a replacement for God’s Word, but a tool to teach and drive the student deeper into the Word! You can read the Westminster Confession of Faith here. (with Scripture Proofs)
