Where our BELIEVE Journey has taken us! “The first five key beliefs we have read so far are mostly vertical in na-ture—they deal with our relationships with God. The God of the Bible is the one true God who is involved in and cares about our daily lives. This God has provided the way for us to come into a relationship with him through faith in Jesus Christ. God revealed this to us along with a road map (the Bible) for our lives. This special book is from God and therefore has the right to command our beliefs and actions. We who embrace these beliefs and receive Jesus as our Savior from sin are given a new identity. From that moment on we can find our significance not in our performance but in our position as children of God.

The final set of five beliefs is more horizontal in nature—they deal with our relationship with others. Out of our relationship with God we engage our world in a purposeful and fruitful way. How will God accomplish the plan for humanity he has laid out in the Bible? God has chosen to use two communities he created—the ancient nation of Israel and the church—to accomplish his purposes on earth. If you are a Christian, you are a part of this community.” (BELIEVE, p. 93)
