God is love, power, and splendor – and God is a mystery. His ways are unfathomable, yet He continually reaches out His hand to us. God is both infinite and intimate, three and one, omniscient, yet He forgives all. We have eternity ahead of us to cherish a ever deeper relationship with God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Despite the gulf created by sin, God reveals Himself in countless ways. The Bible is the story of a God who strives to reconcile with His children. God uses this tool to touch us. The Bible brings together a mosaic of authors, styles, and perspectives to reveal to us a God who is always creative, always patient, and always seeking to restore our relationship with Him. Though written by ordinary people, through the action of the Holy Spirit, the Bible pierces our hearts, opens our eyes, and invites us to live for God.

God the Father extended His hand to us in an extraordinary way through His Son Jesus, who chose not only to live among us but to become one of us. Born of man so that we might be born again of the Spirit, Jesus showed us the love and character of God – and how far God was willing to go to save us from self-destruction. What we could not do for ourselves, He did for us, paying the price for our sins, dying in our place so that we might live eternally. He conquered death through His resurrection and promised to return to bring us home.

Until that day comes, God has not left us alone. The Holy Spirit is there to comfort us, guide us, and transform us so that we may be witnesses of God’s love. This same Spirit that inspired the prophets and empowered Jesus, who formed the Scriptures and created the world, empowers and strengthens each of us.

The Spirit activates the “body of Christ,” the Church, through spiritual gifts and a humble attitude of service and compassion. The Bible. Ancient and timeless, a masterpiece of literature, the Holy Bible reveals God’s role in human history, our place in God’s plan, and the truth that guides and protects us from disappointment.

The Trinity. God is immortal, almighty, and all love. He is a relationship of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God, the only being worthy of our worship, is our Creator, Redeemer, and Friend. God the Father. God the Father is the source of love and life. He sent His Son to save us from our sins and from ourselves, and to reveal His character. God the Son. Jesus became man to save us.

Through Him, our helper, advocate, and redeemer, we can have a fresh start. He prepares heaven for us and will return to take us there. The Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit inspires us, gives us strength, and guides our reasoning. The Spirit touches our hearts and transforms us, renewing in us the image of God in which we were created.
