FROM ___________________ I have moved/new address/ I wish to received the Adventist Messenger Other needs: _______________________________________________ God Seventh-day Adventists base their faith in God as revealed through Jesus Christ and as shown through the Bible, inspired by the Holy Spirit. (Gen. 1:1; Rev. 4:11; 1 Cor. 15:28; John 3:16) Welcome to Ruth Seventh-day Adventist Church Faith Faith means placing complete trust in God, and accepting his offer of salvation. Such trusting faith is fundamental to Adventist beliefs. A living relationship with God is essential to faith. (Phil. 1:20-30; 1 Thess. 5:8; Matt. 6:30) The Bible Written down over many years, the Bible presents the essential truth about God. The Holy Spirit inspired human writers to reveal the character of God and how he wishes to save all those who come to him. The Bible explains the nature of God and the way God’s followers will behave as a result of their relationship with him. (2 Peter 1:20-21; Ps. 119:105; Isa. 8:20; John 17:17; Heb. 4:12) The Gospel The heart of the Adventist message is the gospel, God’s good news of salvation. Through Jesus’ death on the cross human beings may be won back to love and trust God, and accept God’s free gift of eternal life for all those who follow him. (Matt 4:23; Rom. 10:15; 1 Peter 4:1-7) CreationCreator of the Universe, Christ formed our world in six days, and created the first man and woman. At the close of his creative work, God gave the Sabbath as a day of celebration and worship. (Gen 1&2; Ps. 19 1-6; Heb. 11:3) The Sabbath The seventh-day Sabbath (Saturday) is given as a reminder of the God who both creates and saves, and is the day God invites all to come and worship him. Jesus observed the seventh-day Sabbath while on earth, and Adventists follow his example in keeping the fourth of the Ten Commandments. (Exo. 20:8-11; Luke 4:16; Matt. 12:1-12; Mark 1:32) The Second Advent Adventists look forward to the soon return of Jesus Christ as prophesied and as he himself promised, but do not set any date for this glorious event when he comes to take home all who accept him as their Lord. (Titus 2:13; Heb. 9:28; Rev. 1:7; Mark 13; 1 Thess. 5:1-6) Life after Death and the Future Adventists follow Jesus in identifying those who die as sleeping. Those who have trusted God are raised to life when Jesus returns, and look forward to a wonderful future--eternal life in God’s presence. (Rom. 6:23; Eccl. 9:5, 1 Cor. 15:51-54; John 5:28, 29; Rev. 20:1-10) Baptism and Commitment Those who choose to accept God’s way for their lives and his offer of eternal life demonstrate their belief through baptism (being immersed in water), following the example of Jesus. Adventists follow lives of commitment to God and his plan for us, which include following his commands as being for our best good. (Matt. 28: 19-20; Rom. 6:1-6; Acts 16:30-33) ON DUTY …sharing our faith-based beliefs to the world as commissioned in the Word of God. Go…teach…baptize…make disciples. Matt 28:18-20 January 17, 2015 We are happy you have chosen to worship with us today. May God bless you as we unite together in heartfelt praise on this blessed Sabbath day.
