Beliefs at Mbarara Church of Christ >>

We
Believe (part two):
>>
The Bible is the very Word of
God, written by human authors under the guidance of the Holy
Spirit. It is the source of truth for Christian beliefs and
living. Because it is inspired by God, the Bible is truth without
error. In our church, we believe that we should follow the Bible’s
instructions for what to believe, how to lead this church, and
how to live, and not the traditions of men.
>>
Salvation is God’s free gift to us.
We are saved by His grace, but we must accept it. We can never
be forgiven for our sin by self-improvement or by our own good
works. Only by trusting in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ as God’s
offer of grace can we be saved from sin’s penalty. Therefore,
we must turn to Jesus in faith, repent of our sins, and be baptized
to symbolize our death, resurrection, and new life in Christ.
But we must also remember that this new life can only come because
Jesus died and rose again... through his willingness to be sacrificed
for our sins and the power that enabled him to overcome sin and
death! After we have “clothed ourselves with Christ”,
we begin a process of spiritual growth, becoming more like Jesus
as we live our lives for him!
>>
The Church is God’s family
of saved people, a group of people who are following Jesus together.
We are the Body of Christ, and Jesus is the Head of the
church! Our church is free in Christ; We have no "headquarters"
and we have freedom to make our own decisions, based on our understanding
of God’s Word, and as the Spirit of God gives us direction.
Our leaders are servants, but they are not the only servants
in the church! Every member is to serve according to his calling
and ministry gifts.
