Statement of Faith

Statement of Faith

“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.”
—2 Timothy 3:16 (KJV)

Everything shared through Overcome By Faith is grounded in the authority of God’s Word. The following statement summarizes the biblical convictions that shape this ministry.

God

I believe there is one true and living God, eternally existing as three Persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He is the Creator and Sustainer of all things, perfect in holiness, wisdom, love, and power. He alone is worthy of our worship and obedience.

Jesus Christ

I believe Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, fully God and fully man. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, lived a sinless life, died on the cross as the perfect sacrifice for our sins, rose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, and now intercedes for believers. One day He will return personally and visibly to judge the living and the dead.

The Holy Spirit

I believe the Holy Spirit is fully God and actively works in the lives of believers. He convicts people of sin, leads them to faith in Christ, indwells every believer, empowers Christian living, and produces spiritual growth and Christlike character.

The Bible

I believe the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments are the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. The Bible is trustworthy in all that it teaches and is the final authority for faith and life.

Creation

I believe God created the heavens, the earth, and all living things as recorded in Genesis. Adam and Eve were specially created by God as the first man and woman. Humanity did not arise through evolutionary processes but was intentionally created in God’s image.

I believe the account of Noah’s Flood records a real, worldwide event in history.

Humanity

I believe every person is created in the image of God and possesses inherent dignity and value. Every human life is sacred from conception until natural death.

I believe God created humanity as male and female, two complementary sexes that reflect His design. Marriage is God’s gift, established as the lifelong covenant between one man and one woman. Sexual intimacy is reserved for marriage, and God’s design for sexuality is good and worthy of our obedience.

Sin

I believe all people have sinned and fall short of God’s perfect standard. Sin separates us from God and brings both physical and spiritual death. Every person is in need of God’s forgiveness and salvation.

Salvation

I believe salvation is God’s gracious gift, received through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone. No one can earn salvation through good works. Through Christ’s death and resurrection, forgiveness, new life, and eternal life are offered to all who repent of their sin and place their trust in Him.

The Church

I believe the Church is the body of Christ, made up of all who have trusted Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. Christians are called to worship together, grow in God’s Word, encourage one another, and share the good news of Jesus Christ with the world.

Eternity

I believe Jesus Christ will return as He has promised. There will be a future resurrection of all people. Those who have trusted Christ will enjoy eternal life with Him, while those who reject Him will face eternal separation from God. Satan will ultimately be judged, and God’s kingdom will be fully established.
