God’s Holy Word
Everything Lutherans believe comes from the Bible, God's message of truth and love for all people. In God’s Holy Word, we learn of the one and only true God Who exists in three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God the Father is our Maker and the Creator of all things. By the Father's word, all things were made. The Son is Jesus Christ, who came to earth as the perfect Mediator between our heavenly Father and a fallen humanity. He redeemed us with His holy and innocent suffering and death on the cross. The Holy Spirit calls us to believe in Jesus Christ as our Savior, keeps us in the one true faith, and equips us for living out our faith (Genesis 1:1-3, Deuteronomy 6:4, Matthew 3:16-17, Matthew 28:19, 2 Corinthians 13:14).
The Bible is the written Word of God, handed down to us by His inspiration in order to point us to the truth that we are saved from our sin and eternal death by the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We believe that the Bible is completely reliable and without error. In it we learn everything we need to know about God's love and His gifts to us (John 10:35, Mark 8:38, John 14:26, Acts 24:14, 2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:21).
