"God is a spirit; and they who worship him must worship him in spirit and truth." John 4:24
|
What we believe about the bodily Resurrection of Christ and his second coming We believe Jesus was physically risen from the dead as a proof that His atoning sacrifice on the cross satisfied God's righteousness fully, so that all sinners, on condition of repentance and faith, may be justified and made children of God. Paul says that Jesus was: «delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.» Rom.4:25). The preposition 'for' here indicates the cause of the action. In other words, Paul says, Christ was crucified, delivered to die, because of our offenses. Which means our offenses could not be forgiven without the shedding of Christ's sinless blood. And, when the sacrifice was offered, because God was absolutely satisfied, came the resurrection as a proof of our justification. Thank God for the unsearchable riches of Christ!The Second Coming of Christ is one of the most important tenets of the Christian Faith as taught in the Bible. Here we are only to touch upon some special points grossly, as the whole matter constitutes a separate chapter of Systematic Theology or Christian Doctrine namely Eschatology. Briefly we here declare that, as a local New Testament Baptist church, we are Premillennialists and Pretribulationists. We expect the Rapture to take place anytime, and from our hearts repeat the words of Revelation 22:20: «Even so, come, Lord Jesus». Amen. |
