These beliefs are at the heart of all we say and do at Lifesprings. We've included references from the Bible if you would like to study the basis for these beliefs.
We believe in the historic Christian faith as reflected in these statements:
About God. We believe that God is the loving Creator of all that exists, both seen and unseen. God is eternal and completely good, knowing all things, having all power and majesty. God exists as the Trinity, in three persons, yet one God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God passionately desires relationship with us and towards this end continually invites us into a relationship of faith, friendship, learning, and service.
Genesis 1:1, John 14:6-9, 15-17 and John 16:7-15, Matthew 28:19,
2 Corinthians 13:14,1 John 4:9-10
About Jesus Christ. We believe that God expressed himself in human form through Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He lived a sinless life, was crucified for the sins of us all, was buried, rose again from the dead, ascended to heaven and will return in power and glory.
Colossians 1:13-23 and Colossians 2:8-14, 1 Corinthians 15:3-8, Matthew 22:36-40, John 14:1-3, Hebrews 1:1-3, Acts 10:42-43, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
About the Holy Spirit. We believe that the Holy Spirit, sent from God to live inside all who believe in Jesus Christ, teaches, comforts, and empowers us, giving each follower diverse gifts, fostering unity, interdependence, productivity, Christ-like character, and love among Christians.
Romans 5:5 and Romans 8, 1 Corinthians 12-14, Galatians 5:16-25,
Ephesians 3:16, Ephesians 4:3-4, and Ephesians 5:18, John 14:26 and John 16:7-14
