What We Believe
The universal Christian doctrine that will be visually
presented through written Bible scriptures and three dimensional
sculptures
in the Gardens expresses the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which is
what we, the Board of Trustees of The
Coming King Foundation believe:
We
believe God is one, maker of the universe and all things. We believe
His personality is expressed in three persons, the Father, Son
and Holy Spirit.
We believe the Father is Jehovah God, Jesus
Christ is God, and the Holy Spirit is God.
We believe this divine
Trinity has always existed, before anything was created.
We believe
the Bible is the inspired Word of God, that is spiritually, historically
and scientifically true, given
once and for all
times to all peoples.
We believe Jesus Christ is “Yeshua”,
the Messiah of the Jews, the “anointed one” predicted
in ancient prophecies, hundreds of years before His birth,
sent by God the Father, to
save His people from their sins.
We believe Jesus is the
true “Sacrificial Lamb” given
by God to pay for the sins of the world, for all people,
for all time.
We believe 2,000 years ago Jesus Christ
was born in Bethlehem to a young Jewish virgin girl named
Mary, conceived by
the Holy Spirit
of God.
We believe Jesus lived a sinless life as a real
person in Israel, and during His three-year earthly ministry,
worked
many genuine
miracles witnessed by thousands, after being empowered
by the Holy Spirit, using spiritual “Gifts”,
which were given to Him without measure.
We believe
after fulfilling all scriptural predictions, having
done all the Father had required, Jesus freely
gave Himself
up to be crucified for the sins of the world, past,
present and
future.
We believe after dying a horrible death and
not using any of His supernatural power to escape this fate,
He died
exactly how, when,
where, and for the reasons the ancient scriptures
predicted, at the hands of the Roman army and Jewish religious
leaders of that
time.
We believe the divine blood Jesus, shed during
His scourging and crucifixion, made it possible for anyone
to be “saved” from
their own sins, if they will “believe” in
Jesus Christ and accept His sacrifice for them.
We
believe God has extended “Grace” (unmerited
favor) and mercy to all those who trust in the
claims, goodness, deity
and the “works” of Jesus, rather than
trusting in their own goodness, works or any religious
system, rules or rituals.
We believe
there is no other way to God the Father, except
through Jesus
Christ the Son, which is
only made possible
through the
life-changing power and intervention of the Holy
Spirit, who reaches out to us
so we can reach out to Him.
We believe after three
days in the grave, Jesus was miraculously raised from the dead
in bodily
form
and appeared before
the disciples and hundreds of others, before
finally taking His
rightful place
at the right hand of God the Father, in Heaven.
We
believe God desires that all people have a personal, intimate
relationship with Himself,
which is only
possible by trusting
in the person and claims of Jesus Christ,
which is available to all
by simply asking the Spirit of God for this “Born-Again” salvation
experience.
We believe God desires that all
believers follow Christ’s
example and be Baptized with water, as a
symbol of public profession of faith in Christ
and also
be Baptized in the Holy Spirit, so
they might be empowered for service, which
equips them to do the works of Jesus.
We believe
after His supernatural resurrection, Jesus
Christ sent the Holy Spirit of God
to the earth to
save, comfort,
guide, empower
and indwell His children.
We believe God provided
to His church and His followers, supernatural “Gifts” and
the power and authority to use these spiritual “Gifts” to
serve others and to overcome the world
and Satan.
We believe these supernatural,
miracle
working “Gifts” are
still available today to all believers
who ask and yield to the Holy Spirit of
God, as the scripture
states they were poured out
on the first New Testament believers.
We
believe God expects all believers to desire
and ask for His supernatural empowerment,
commonly known
as the “Baptism
of the Holy Spirit”, which releases
these miracle working “Gifts” into
the lives of believers, so they can be
more effective servants of Christ.
We believe
God has called all of His children to share
the Gospel of Jesus Christ with
others who
are perishing,
so
they might
know His love, power and blessings on this
earth now and eternal life
in Heaven with God following death.
We believe
in the final judgment and the triumphant
return of
Jesus Christ
to this
earth at the
end of time, and that He will pour out
His wrath on all those who have hurt His
children
and rejected
His
love,
but will
reward all
those who have obeyed His commands.
We believe
in the Resurrection from the dead, of all genuine, “Born-Again” followers
of Jesus Christ, who will be spared this
final judgment and will reign with Him in glory forever.
