SUMMARY OF PART IV OF THE UNSHAKABLE TRUTH

SUMMARY OF PART IV God’s Truth Declaration:I Am the God of Re-Creation—The God of Restoration

Unshakable Truth 8: Jesus' Bodily Resurrection

We believe the truth that Jesus died on the cross for our sins and rose again to transfer us from death to life and secure our eternal salvation.Because there is sufficient evidence that Jesus rose from the dead, we can believe with confidence that he has the power to forgive our sins and reconcile us to God.Christ’s resurrection also assures us that he will raise our dead bodies to live with him for all eternity.


Unshakable Truth 9: The Trinity


We believe the truth that there is one God who is eternally co-existing as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in a perfect relationship of oneness.The Holy Spirit is the dynamic, active, and ever-present person of the Trinity who dwells within us, making us intimate with God.When we yield to the Holy Spirit he makes us one with God, confirms our Christlikeness, leads us into all truth, empowers us for service, and brings meaning to our lives.

Unshakable Truth 10: God's Kingdom

We believe the truth that the kingdom-of-God message forms our biblical worldview.God’s kingdom worldview has been a powerful influence for good in this present world for centuries, motivating people to bring aid and comfort to those in need.A biblical worldview provides a supernatural way for Christ-followers to live in this present world.

Unshakable Truth 11: The Church

We believe the truth that the church is Christ’s visible representation on earth, in which his transformed followers individually and collectively fulfill God’s redemptive plan. The authentic church is Christ’s loving community that acts as “salt and light” to draw people to Christ and impacts the culture around it.Jesus’ Great Commandment “to love” and Great Commission “to make disciples” are inseparably linked so that his church meets both the human and spiritual needs of people.

Unshakable Truth 12: The Return of Christ

We believe the truth that Jesus will return to give his followers resurrected bodies that will last forever; abolish sin; and restore the earth to a perfect world, where his children will live with him through all eternity.We can believe with confidence that Jesus will return because he has conquered death through his own resurrection.Until Christ returns, we as his followers are engaged in his mission to reconcile as many people as possible to God.
