of Faith and Purpose Introduction Video |
We believe that
our calling is to share what Martin Luther boldly proclaimed to his
generation: that God intends to make of us a “race of Christs’.” Having
had, from the Holy Spirit, the revelation of our personal union with
Christ, we see it as our commission to share this liberating awareness
with the entire Church around the world.
Our foundation is
the Cross of Jesus Christ. We wholeheartedly embrace the evangelical
position and doctrine as set out in the Apostles’ Creed--emphasizing
everyone’s need for salvation, which is only available through the
atoning blood of Jesus Christ.
We believe that Paul clearly teaches that there are two aspects to the gospel of Jesus Christ:
- to proclaim the saving Gospel to those without Christ.
- to proclaim the mystery of the Gospel—“which is Christ in you the hope of glory,” to those of us who are already Christians.
We see ourselves
as a two-fold ministry (to the lost as well as to the saved) although,
our outreach is to be primarily to born-again Christians who desire to
move on from “the elementary teaching about Christ,” to full maturity in
Christ.
We believe that
maturity is only attained as a person becomes aware by Spirit revelation
of “the mystery once hidden but now made manifest...which is Christ in
you, the hope of glory.” Along with this revelation of who we contain,
we also see the truth concerning the human vessel. We understand that
the human doesn’t have a nature of his own, but instead only derives the
nature of the Spirit who indwelling us. Therefore, we humans are not an
independent, self-operating-self and never have been. We were a vessel
containing Satan, and now through the Cross, we are vessels containing
Christ.
Christ, Our Life
Ministries is dedicated to bring an expanded awareness of this mystery
of the gospel to the
The outgrowth of this revelation will ultimately manifest fruit in the form of a life lived for others. As God so loved the world that He gave His Son, so we too will give our lives for others that the world might experience that abundant life which only comes as a person knows inner “completeness” and “Perfection” in Christ. With Paul we say, “We proclaim Him, admonishing every man and teaching every man with all wisdom, that we may present every man complete in Christ” (Col. 1:28)
