 | Jesus Christ is the centerpiece of our life and our fellowship. Praise the Lord that we are not saved on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but rather He saves us according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit. We worship Him because the grace of God has appeared to all men, bringing salvation, instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age. We are looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus, who gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds. |
