What does the Christian faith entail?
We're want to explain what the Christian faith means. If you have any questions, please contact us!
We believe in the one true God, Creator of heaven and earth, who created us out of love — not to be mere beings, but to walk with Him in a living, holy relationship; a relationship overflowing with love, freedom, and peace.
But this relationship was broken, not because God turned away, but because we chose our own ways and forsook His presence. Sin separated us from His presence.
Yet God did not leave us lost in darkness. In His eternal love, God Himself came to this earth, in His Son: Jesus Christ, the Word made flesh, to bear our sins and die in our place. For "the wages of sin is death" (Romans 6:23).
Through His death, He paid the price, and through His resurrection on the third day, He broke the power of death and gave us eternal life. The cross was the suffering of Jesus Christ, God himself, who brought us redemption, salvation, and freedom. The resurrection is the beginning of our hope. In Jesus Christ, God himself came to earth. It is His dearest desire to enter into a personal relationship with you and me.
“To all who received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God” (John 1:12).
In Christ, we are no longer slaves, but beloved sons and daughters. We are born again, with a heavenly identity, part of God's family.
After His resurrection, He appeared to His disciples, taught them, and ascended into heaven where He sits at the right hand of the Father—as our intercessor—awaiting the day of His glorious return.
And He sent us the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, to dwell within us, to guide us, to strengthen us, and to renew us from within. Thus, we no longer live by our own strength, but by His grace, in daily communion with Him—in the silence of our hearts and the depths of faith.
The Bible
De Bijbel is het boek waarin christenen geloven. Christenen geloven dat de Bijbel volledig Gods woord is. God spreekt door de Bijbel tot ons. De woorden in de Bijbel zijn door de eeuwen heen opgeschreven door verschillende profeten. Alle mensen die hoofdstukken in de Bijbel hebben geschreven zijn geïnspireerd door God zelf.
One God
Als Christen geloven wij in één God. Zo heeft God zich ook geopenbaard aan ons in de Bijbel. God was er al vanaf het begin van deze wereld. God heeft de wereld goed geschapen.
One God
De wereld was goed en volmaakt. De eerste mensen Adam en Eva leefde in complete vrede en rust. God had hen vrijheid gegeven zij mochten alles doen wat zij wilde. Ook mochten ze alles eten, behalve van één boom niet, zou de mens dit wel doen dan had God gezegt dat die mens zou sterven. De mens had een vrije keus om wel of niet van de boom te eten. Toch wilde de mens eten van de boom. Hierdoor heeft de mens de goede relatie met God verbroken en leeft de mensheid in de zonde.
The cross
Door het
Salvation
Alleen door het bloed van Jezus kunnen wij breken met onze zonde en echt vrij zijn. Wanneer we in Jezus geloven zijn we alleen gered en vrij (genade alleen, zonder werken).
