Fundamental
Beliefs of the Seventh-day Adventist Church
www.adventist.org.uk
The
Trinity
There is one God, the Father, Son,
and Holy Spirit, a unity of three co-eternal Persons usually
called the Trinity. God the Father is the Creator, Source,
Sustainer, and Sovereign of all creation. God the eternal Son
became incarnate in Jesus Christ, through Whom all things were
created; the character of God is revealed; the salvation of
humanity is accomplished; and the world is judged. God the Holy
Spirit draws men and women to Himself and gives spiritual gifts
to the Church. |
Christ Our
Hope
In Christ's life of perfect
obedience to God's will, His suffering, death, and resurrection,
God provided the only means of atonement for human sin, so that
those who by faith accept this atonement have eternal life. |
Christ's Return
The second coming of Christ is the blessed hope of the Church,
the grand climax of the Gospel. His coming will be literal,
personal, visible, and world-wide. When He returns the righteous
dead will be resurrected and together with the righteous living
will be glorified and taken to heaven. The unrighteous - those
who have rejected divine grace - will die. |
The
Church
The Church is the community of believers who
confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. In it men and women
join together for worship, fellowship, instruction in the Word,
the celebration of the Lord's Supper, service to our neighbours,
and the world-wide proclamation of the Gospel. |
The Holy
Scriptures
The Old and New Testaments are the written Word of God, given by
divine inspiration through holy men of God who spoke and wrote
by the Holy Spirit. The Scriptures are the infallible revelation
of God's will. |
Baptism
Baptism by immersion is a symbol of our union with Christ, the
forgiveness of our sins, and our reception of the Holy Spirit. |
The
Ten Commandments
The Ten Commandments, the great principles of God's law, are
exemplified in the life of Christ. They express God's love,
will, and purposes concerning human conduct and relationships.
Salvation is all of grace and not of works, but its fruitage is
obedience to the Commandments, not in hopeless effort to earn
salvation, but in grateful harmony with the life and will of Him
whose perfect obedience has brought us confidence and acceptance
as His sons and daughters. |
The
Sabbath
The seventh day of the week, Saturday, is observed as the day of
rest, worship, and ministry in harmony with the teaching and
practice of Jesus, the Lord of the Sabbath. The Sabbath is a day
of delightful communion with God and one another. We joyfully
observe this holy time from Friday evening to Saturday evening,
from sunset to sunset, as a celebration of God's creative and
redemptive acts. |
The
New Earth
On the new earth, in which righteousness dwells, God will
provide a glorious home for the redeemed with a perfect
environment for everlasting life, love, joy and learning. God
Himself will dwell with His people, and suffering and death will
exist no more. |
