There is one God, eternally existing in three distinct persons:\u00a0 the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.<\/p>

These three are co-equal and each possesses all of the attributes of God. God is Creator and Sustainer of the universe and everything in it.<\/p><\/div>\n

Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is one with God the Father and the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is our Savior, who was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died on a cross for all sin, and was raised from the grave after three days to demonstrate His defeat of sin and death. He ascended into heaven and will return again to earth to reign as our powerful King.<\/p><\/div>\n

The Holy Spirit is one with God Father and Jesus Christ. Those who accept Christ as their Savior will receive the Holy Spirit to live inside them. The Holy Spirit serves as our comforter, guide and advocate.\u00a0 The Holy Spirit is given to Christians and provides guidance in living, an understanding of the Bible, and prayerfully intercedes for them.<\/p><\/div>\n

Our foundation is based firmly upon the Bible as our final authority on Christian beliefs and as a guide to living. The Bible is divinely inspired by God, without error, given to man so that we may know and understand the truth of God and His love.<\/p><\/div>\n

All people are made in the image of God and were created to live the adventure of following Jesus Christ. Although people have tremendous potential for good, we also have the freedom to do evil. Our disobedience God is called sin\u201d and that separates all humanity from God.<\/p><\/div>\n

Salvation is not something that can be purchased or earned. It is a free gift from God provided by Jesus\u2019 sacrifice on the cross and is received through faith. It is available to everyone who accepts Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord. That faith is expressed through repentance of sin and baptism by immersion<\/p><\/div>\n

People were created to exist forever. Every person will either exist eternally in union with God in heaven through following Jesus Christ or be eternally separated from God in hell due to our refusal to follow Him<\/p><\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-6880","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/africaharvestmissions.org\/evangelistsebyala\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6880","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/africaharvestmissions.org\/evangelistsebyala\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/africaharvestmissions.org\/evangelistsebyala\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/africaharvestmissions.org\/evangelistsebyala\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/africaharvestmissions.org\/evangelistsebyala\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6880"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/africaharvestmissions.org\/evangelistsebyala\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6880\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6895,"href":"https:\/\/africaharvestmissions.org\/evangelistsebyala\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6880\/revisions\/6895"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/africaharvestmissions.org\/evangelistsebyala\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6880"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
