At Grace Lutheran Church we
believe, teach and proclaim the truths taught in the Holy Bible. The Bible
contains the very words of God Himself and is therefore the source of what
we believe. The Bible tells us everyone has done wrong by disobeying God
and His laws, this is what we call "sin". Sin is every thought, desire,
word, and deed which is contrary to God's law. Since every person has
sinned and is a sinner, all deserve punishment from God and are unable to
earn God's forgiveness.
We can only be forgiven
by believing in Jesus Christ who was our substitute in receiving the
punishment we deserved. Jesus, the Son of God, did this out of love and
mercy. Though we deserved to die for sin, Jesus died on our behalf to
rescue us from sin's punishment of hell. By believing in Jesus Christ not
only do we find mercy and forgiveness for all our wrongs, we become part
of God's family and have the assurance and hope of one day entering
heaven.
