Christian Endeavor - Pennsylvania

We believe that:



The Bible is the infallible Word of God, that it is His Holy and inspired Word, and that it is the supreme and final authority for matters of Christian faith and conduct.



There is on true God, who is infinite, perfectly holy, and eternally existing in three persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.



Humans are made in the image of God. When the first person succumbed to the temptation of Satan and chose to disobey God, sin and its curse was brought upon the human race. Since the penalty of sin is death, as long as people live in sin, we are deal spiritually and face a physical death and eternal punishment in hell. This fall from grace put man in the position of needing forgiveness in order that our fellowship with God might be restored.



God established that only the shedding of Jesus’s blood provides the forgiveness and remission of sin. His Son, Jesus Christ, took man’s sin upon Himself. Jesus was sent by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, and is true God and turn man, perfect and without sin. As the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ took man’s sin upon Himself as he died on the cross, thus satisfying God’s holy demands for all mankind. He was buried, and was resurrected by the power of god on the third day following His crucifixion. Jesus Christ ascended into heaven and is the only mediator between God and man. All who personally receive Him, through faith, are declared righteous on the4 basis of His she blood.



When a person confesses the fact that he is a sinner and receives the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior, through faith, he is born anew of the Holy Spirit. He becomes a new creation, a member of the true Church, indwelt by the Holy Spirit. This salvation is not the result of any human effort of works, but is the free gift of God’s grace in Jesus Christ.
