Our Beliefs
These are our Beliefs at Saving Grace Lutheran
Church
We
believe that the Holy Bible is the inspired and
inerrant Word of God, and the only source and norm
for Christian doctrine and practice.
We believe that there is only
one true God, who has revealed Himself in Three
Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe that, by His
innocent suffering and death on the cross in our
place, Jesus Christ made full atonement for our
sins.
We believe that Jesus rose
from the dead on Easter morning, later ascended into
heaven where He now lives and reigns to all
eternity.
We believe that Jesus will
return on the last day to judge the living and the
dead and take all believers in Him to eternal life
and glory.
We believe that God comes to
us in His Church through chosen means of grace which
are: the Word of God (The Holy Scriptures) and the
Sacraments of Baptism and The Lord's Supper (Holy
Communion), and that through these means of grace He
conveys to us His forgiveness.
We believe that we are saved
only by the grace of God through faith in Jesus
Christ, which is a free gift of The Holy Spirit to
us.
We believe that Holy Baptism
brings us into God's Kingdom and makes us members of
the Body of Christ as we receive the Holy Spirit,
who works faith in our hearts.
We believe that the Sacrament
of Holy Communion is the true body and blood of
Christ which is received with the bread and the wine
(Real Presence). It is not a Symbolic eating and
drinking.
We believe that
those who receive this Sacrament actually eat and
drink the body and blood of our Lord and Savior shed
for us on the cross.
