Our Beliefs

What we believe about being saved through faith:

The Bible and Lutherans teach that faith is a repentant sinner's acceptance of Jesus Christ as his only Savior and full trust in his worthiness for forgiveness of sins and salvation. Such faith is not a personal achievement or an act of human worthiness. The Holy Spirit creates faith. Whoever remains in this faith to the end of life will be saved eternally. Salvation is not possible without faith.

John 1:12
To all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.

Acts 10:43
All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.

Galatians 2:16
(We) know that a man is not justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ, not by observing the law, because by observing the law, no one will be justified.

Acts 16:30,31
He . . . asked, "Men, what must I do to be saved?" They replied, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household."

John 3:36
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life.

Matthew 24:13
He who stands firm to the end will be saved.
