We teach and confess that the Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God. Saint Paul teaches us “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” 2 Tim 3:16-17
We are saved from sin and death by God's grace to us. We have been saved through the work of Christ Jesus on the cross. We can do nothing to earn God's grace it is a free gift. Eph 2:8-9
We are saved through the gift of faith. Our works do not earn us favor with God. Gal. 2:16 In response to God's many gifts given us we respond by doing the good works God has prepared for us. Eph 2:10
