Jordan River's
Statement of Faith
The doctrinal of JRM Mission is as follows:
We believe in Scripture of the Old and New Testaments
as verbally inspired by God and that they are of supreme and final authority in faith and life.
We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the
Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, and truly man.
We believe in one God eternally existing in three
persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
We believe that man was created in the image of
God, that he sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death which is separation from God, and
that all human beings are born with a sinful nature.
We believe that in salvation we are rescued from
God’s wrath by His grace alone, apart from any human merit. It is the supernatural
work of the Holy Spirit that brings us to Christ by releasing us from the bondage to sin and raising us from spiritual death
to spiritual life.
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our
sins according to the Scriptures as a sinless representative and substituionary
sacrifice, and that all who truly believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood.
We believe in “that blessed hope”. The
personal return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
We believe that all who receive the Lord Jesus Christ
are born again of the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God.
We
affirm that our justification is received by faith alone, apart from any human work.
In justification God pardons the sinner and declares us in His sight by imputing our sin to Christ and by imputing
Christ’s righteousness to us.
We believe that because our salvation is by grace
alone, through faith alone, and because of Christ alone, it is for God’s glory, and that we must glorify Him in all
things. We endeavor, therefore, to live our lives before the face of God and
under His authority.
