Bible/Gospel

The sixty-six books of the Old and New Testament, which compose the Bible are the sole basis and measuring rod for all of Remedy’s beliefs. We believe that God inspired the human writers so that the words they wrote, through their own personalities, are the very words of God.

We believe that the Bible is all about Jesus and the gospel (Lk 22.44-49). It tells a cohesive story of God’s gracious and redemptive action on behalf of humanity in order to rescue them from sin and restore them to fellowship with himself through Jesus. The Old Testament points forward to Jesus as the coming Messiah who would ultimately rescue from all sin and suffering. The New Testament points back to Jesus as that Messiah, the savior of all humanity. Because of this we read the whole Bible through the lens of Jesus and his gospel.

In accordance with this biblical and gospel-centric focus, we affirm the following creedal statements.

Apostles’ Creed

The Apostles’ Creed was written early in church history to sum up the essence of the Christian faith as taught by the original apostles. It is not Scripture, but the attempt of those early believers to briefly synthesize the central message of the Scriptures. We affirm the Apostles’ Creed in consonance with what Jesus’ church has believed for nearly 2,000 years of history.

I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
he descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again;
he ascended into heaven,
he is seated at the right hand of the Father,
and he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.
