Messianic Statement of Faith

© Virginia Marin

I believe in the One and only God, "The God of Abraham, The God of Isaac and the God of Jacob" who is the Creator and sustainer of all things (Genesis 1:1, Exodus 3:6, Isaiah 42:5)

I believe God has revealed Himself as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and these three are "Echad" the One God. I believe that both the Tanach, the First Testament (Old Testament) and the B'rit Chadashah, the Second Testament (New Testament) support the triune nature of the Godhead. (Genesis 1:26, Deuteronomy 6:4, Psalm 2:8, 45:6-7, 51:11, Isaiah 9:6-7, Micah 5:2, Proverbs 30:4, Daniel 7:14, John 1:1-3, 8:58 and 20:28, Philippians 2:6-11, Colossians 1:15, Hebrews chapter 1)

I believe the Bible from Genesis to Revelation (Tanach and the B'rit Chadasha) is the infallible and the authoritive Word of God. I believe that the Bible is divinely inspired and that man must turn to it for guidance, growth, reproof, correction, and instruction concerning God's will to mankind (11 Peter 1:20-21, 11 Timothy 3:16)

I believe that Yeshua HaMashiach/Jesus Christ was both fully human and fully Divine. He is the fulfilment of the Promise (the redeemer first mentioned in Genesis 3:5 the seed of Woman) and that His Virgin Birth was to be a sign to Israel of His Messiahship, the Promised Messiah (both the Suffering Servant and the Reigning King) of Israel.

I believe that man's disobedience (sin) to God's revealed Will caused a separation between man and God (Genesis 2:16-17, Isaiah 59:1-2, Romans 5:12)

I believe that the only provision God made for reconciling man to Himself was through the atoning blood of Yeshua (of which the Passover Lamb was a type), who took the penalty for our sin and disobedience upon Himself. That He was crucified and rose again having lain in the tomb for 3 days and 3 nights, manifesting His Victory over sin and death (Leviticus 17:11, Isaiah 53:6, 1 Corinthians 15:57, 11 Corinthians 5:19, 1 Peter 1:18-21, 11 Timothy 1:10)

I believe that there is no other name under heaven by which man (both Jew and Gentile) may be reconciled to the Father (Acts 4:12, Psalm 2:1-12).

I believe salvation is by faith through the grace of God alone and not by human efforts or works. One may not earn his eternal salvation by efforts. A new creation is the work of God alone. (Ephesians 2:8-10, Romans 8:29-39) We believe in the spiritual unity and equality of all believers in Messiah Yeshua (Ephesians 2:11-22)
