Declaration of Faith - Bible Mission | sermon by Father. Mungamuri Devadasu | Bible Mission

1. I believe that the eternal God, who exists without beginning or end, had chosen to save me even before time began.
2. I believe that He, though divine, chose to become like man, and by His divine nature, made it possible for mankind to become holy.
3. I believe that God, knowing mankind would need help, appointed angels as radiant beings and spiritual helpers to assist them.
4. I believe that, even before humans were created, God lovingly provided all they would need—air, light, water, food, and vegetation—revealing His deep love.
5. I believe that after creating the first human couple, He dwelled among them and had fellowship with them.
6. I believe that when the first humans disobeyed His command, God still reached out to them, offering promises of salvation, blessings upon the earth, and the blessing of offspring—drawing even sinners back to Himself.

7.      I believe that until the Savior was born on earth, God accomplished all the necessary preparations through His devoted people among mankind.

8.      I believe that although God led both unbelievers and believers with patience for many years, He eventually separated the faithful from the faithless—lest unbelief destroy the faithful branch—and appointed them as a distinct nation, the very people through whom the Savior would be born.

9.      I believe that although mankind was created in a holy state, and though God could no longer dwell among them after the fall into sin, He still revealed His love time and again by speaking to them occasionally through His word.

10.   I believe that even the Gentiles, no matter how unbelieving they were, were not abandoned by God; He continued to speak to them through their conscience and graciously granted them a share in the blessings of creation.

11.    I believe that when the appointed time had fully come, the Father sent His Son and fulfilled all the promises He had made.

12.   I believe that the Lord Jesus came into the world in human form as the Savior, and through His teaching, He drew sinners and mankind back to Himself.

13.   I believe that Jesus Christ fulfilled all the duties and responsibilities that mankind had failed to fulfill.

14.   I believe that this Savior, while on the cross, took upon Himself all my sins, sicknesses, and punishments, and removed all the evil that was in me.

15.   I believe that my Savior, by overcoming death and rising again, has won for me spiritual victory and freedom—things I could never attain on my own.

16.   I believe that while the good news of this universal Savior is being proclaimed from one side of the world to every nation, from another side the Church—His Bride—is being prepared. I believe that Christ will return to receive His Bride unto Himself.

17.    I believe that He is also preparing me to be part of that Bride.

18.   I believe that, following this, those believers who are left behind will go through seven years of tribulation, during which many will be prepared for salvation through suffering.

19.   I believe that even though some people reject the message during their lifetime and remain unrepentant through tribulations, God, in His mercy, gives them an opportunity to repent even after death, during their time in Hades.

20.  I believe that after the marriage feast of the Bride, the Lord will return to the earth, cast the Antichrist and the False Prophet into hell, and at that time, bind Satan alone in chains.

21.   I believe that after this, the Lord will establish His throne upon a renewed earth, and He, along with His saints, will rule with righteousness. I believe that the Gospel will then be fully proclaimed to the entire world, and even at that time, many will repent and turn to the Lord.

22. I believe that in the end, Satan will meet his final judgment when the Lord casts him into hell. After that, the Lord will gather all the unbelievers from Adam’s time until that very moment—those in the graves—and conduct the final judgment.
23. I believe that the earth itself will become a part of Heaven, and that everlasting joy and salvation will be granted to all the redeemed—not by good works alone, but by faith that springs from the heart.
24. I believe in the Holy Spirit. I believe that the Lord Jesus Christ baptizes believers with the Holy Spirit for the growth and strengthening of their life of faith.
25. I believe that it is through the Holy Spirit that we receive divine illumination, especially to understand the true meaning of the Word. I believe that various spiritual gifts are also granted through Him.
26. I believe that the miracles God performed throughout different periods as recorded in the Bible were specific to the people of those times—but He is still able and willing to perform miracles even to the end of the world, as needed and as faith allows.

Amen.
