Behold, I stand at the door, and knock if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. Jesus Christ. John 1:17
And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself,
And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

1John 3:1 – 3:24

  1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
  2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
  3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
  4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
  5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
  6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
  7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
  8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
  9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
  10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
  11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
  12 Not as Cain, [who] was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous.
  13 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.
  14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not [his] brother abideth in death.
  15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
  16 Hereby perceive we the love [of God], because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down [our] lives for the brethren.
  17 But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels [of compassion] from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
  18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
  19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.
  20 For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
  21 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, [then] have we confidence toward God.
  22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
  23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
  24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.

STATEMENT OF FAITH
We Believe…

In one God, eternally existent in three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit;

In the absolute deity and full humanity of our Lord Jesus Christ, God the Son, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His substitutionary and atoning death for all through His shed blood, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His personal return in power and glory to judge the living and the dead;

In the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is empowered to live a holy life, to witness and work for the Lord Jesus Christ;

In the divine inspiration of all 66 books of the Old and New Testaments as originally given, guaranteeing their infallibility, entire trustworthiness, and supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct;

That all people are sinners and cannot save themselves. Salvation is received as a free gift of God’s grace, apart from works, through repentance and personal faith in the redemptive work of Christ and the regenerating power of the Holy Spirit;

In the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the lost, the eternal blessedness of the saved, and the eternal punishment of the lost;

In the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ who are thus members of His Body, the Church, whose work is the worship of God, perfecting the saints, and evangelization of the world.
