1)  Holy Scripture, the Word of God written, is to be believed and obeyed.  We are assured of its infallible truth and divine authority as the Holy Spirit works in our hearts.

2)  The one, true and living God, infinite in being and perfection, has revealed Himself in three persons:  the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.  He made male and female in His image, but fellowship with God was broken through disobedience.

3)  Our nature now is sinful, and our transgressions deserve God's judgment. But God in His grace offers us new life and forgiveness.  This is the gospel, that the Father has sent the Son to pay the penalty for the sins of His people and grant them the power of His resurrection.

4)  God pardons our sin and accepts us into His family as we trust in Jesus Christ alone for our salvation and sincerely repent.  That faith must show its reality in works of love, and real repentance requires a firm resolve to walk in the way of God's commandments.
Grateful for His love, we now live for His glory.

5)  The Ten Commandments reveal the moral law and will of God.

6)  Our Lord is building His Church in the world.  We exist to worship God, learn the Scriptures, encourage one another in the Christian life, and spread the gospel by word and deed.

7) God has appointed a day in which He will judge the world justly by Jesus Christ.  We must all appear before Him, to give an account of our attitude and actions, as well as receive from Him retribution or reward. That inevitable encounter is not a stimulus to speculation, but an incentive to repentance and obedience.
