LIVING FAITH

A STATEMENT OF CHRISTIAN BELIEF

Chapter Three - God in Christ

Salvation in Christ

3.6

Salvation comes from God's grace alone

received through faith in Christ.

From all eternity, and through no merit on our part,

God calls us to life in Christ.

Here is the good news of the Gospel !

Jesus Christ is the elect one,

chosen for our salvation.

In him we are made acceptable to God.

Before the world was made

we were chosen in Christ

to be part of the family of God.

We are called for a purpose:

we have been predestined

to be like Christ

and to serve God.

As with Israel in the Old Testament,

so with the new humanity in the New Testament,

God chooses us.

There is assurance in knowing that the living God

has eternal purposes to achieve through us.

God will bring to completion

the work of grace begun in us.
