The Bible is God's unique revelation to people. It is the inspired Word of God and the supreme and final authority on all matters upon which it teaches.

Apart from Jesus Christ all people are spiritually lost, and because of sin deserve the judgment of God. However, God gives salvation and eternal life to anyone who trusts in Jesus Christ and in His sacrifice on his or her behalf. Salvation cannot be earned through personal goodness or human effort. It is a gift that must be received by humble repentance and faith in Christ and His finished work on the cross.
