Commitment to His Name – The Creator’s primary objective for human life is for them to know and bear the image of Christ Jesus (His Name) with growing clarity that changes the way we interact with families and communities so the forgiveness of God in the Gospel might be lived out in relationships. This brings the greatest possible, lasting joy to any person and the greatest glory to God. Hopelessness that leads to suicide is conquered by the ultimate reason to live. What stands in the way? The unnamed, and unseen commanders that we are living for now. Live to know the person of Christ. Live so that His Person might be made known to those around you. Live for the Gospel!

 

God desires for all Nations of the world to Acknowledge His Majesty Exactly as He is displayed in the historical event of the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus who is the Son of God (Zeck 12:10; Psalm 2; John 1:1-5; 1 Cor 15:13-14). 

                                                                 Nations have been created to

                                                                 Acknowledge the 

                                                                 Majesty of Christ

                                                                 Exactly revealed as He is, in His Word.  

 

Commitment to His Word – God’s means of revealing His person in general is through creation but He can only be known in a special and saving way through the proper understanding of His Word. God’s Word created all things (John 1:3) All creation are sustained by the power of His Word (Hebrews 1:3). Only through proper understanding of God’s Word will we correctly interpret His works in creation and arrive at proper meditations on the Person of Christ (Psalm 19). God is most perfectly revealed in the Person of Jesus Christ (Col 1:15). 

 

                                                                 What is necessary to know Christ

                                                                 Originates entirely from God and

                                                                 Reveals His Person in His Word that 

                                                                 Determines the source and course of creation

 

Commitment to interpreting – God’s Word must be interpreted the way Jesus and His Apostles did. God has given us in His Word the means of understanding how to interpret His Word. The way Jesus interpreted God’s Word is the harmonious with His Apostles and other biblical writers. This means there is great harmony in how ALL Bible writers interpreted the writers that come before them in history. This interpretive model always accounts for the historical setting of each writing, the grammar beings used by the writer and a literal understanding of the normal expressions and figures of speech. This biblical interpretive method will lead to doctrinal commitments that are in harmony with one another. There is no need to state doctrinal commitments when a commitment to this hermeneutic is upheld, because a consistent method of interpretation (hermeneutic) can only lead to specific systematic conclusions know as doctrines (Matthew 22:29).
