Beliefs
About The Eternal Life Church of Christ
Welcome to The Eternal Life Church of Christ, a community centered around faith and beliefs. As an Old Catholic Church, we are committed to upholding the teachings of Jesus Christ and spreading the message of God's love, grace, and eternal life. Our church serves as a spiritual sanctuary and a gathering place for individuals seeking a deeper understanding of their relationship with God.
Our Beliefs
1. The Holy Trinity
At The Eternal Life Church of Christ, we firmly believe in the Holy Trinity, which consists of God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We recognize the essential role each entity plays in our faith and salvation. Our devotion and worship are directed to the Father, through Jesus Christ, guided by the Holy Spirit.
2. The Bible
The Bible is the ultimate authority for our beliefs and practices. We believe that the Holy Scriptures contain the inspired word of God, providing guidance, wisdom, and instructions for our lives. The Old and New Testaments collectively form the foundation of our faith, and we approach biblical interpretation with reverence and respect.
3. Sacraments
Sacraments hold a significant place in our worship and spiritual journey. We celebrate seven sacraments, namely Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Reconciliation, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders, and Matrimony. Each sacrament serves as a visible sign of God's grace and a means of spiritual nourishment for believers.
4. Apostolic Succession
We maintain a strong connection to the early Christian tradition through our belief in Apostolic Succession. This means that our bishops can trace their authority back to the apostles, ensuring the continuity of the Church's mission and the preservation of our faith throughout history.
5. Salvation and Grace
Salvation and God's grace are central to our beliefs. We believe that salvation is a gift from God, offered to all who have faith in Jesus Christ. Through His life, death, and resurrection, Jesus Christ redeemed humanity and restored our relationship with God. We embrace the grace of God through faith and strive to live in accordance with His teachings.
6. Social Justice and Love
As followers of Christ, we are called to demonstrate love and promote social justice in the world around us. We believe in treating all individuals with dignity, compassion, and respect, regardless of their backgrounds or circumstances. We strive to advocate for justice, equality, and the well-being of others, reflecting God's love in our actions.
