“Sin entered the universe when Lucifer, the leading angel in heaven, led out in rebellion. He became Satan, and he and followers were cast out of heaven. This has placed earth, and us, squarely in the midst of a battle between God and Satan, and we feel the consequences of that in our lives.”
— 1 John 3:8; John 8:44; Ezekiel 28:12-17; Isaiah 14:12-14; Luke 10:18; Revelation 12:7-9; Job 1:1- 2:10
“When Adam and Eve were created the Bible says that God breathed into him “the breath of life,” and thus he became a living soul. Genesis 2:7 When they chose to sin the whole earth began to feel the consequences. Genesis 3:17-19 The largest of these is death. The Bible tells us that when we die the breath of life goes back to God, the body returns to dust, and we rest in unconscious sleep in our grave until the resurrection.”
“Since sin has separated us from God which results in death, God’s desire to save us eternally in heaven could only be realized through an amazing plan of love.”

— 1 John 5:11-15; John 6:47; John 1:12
“When we accept Jesus as our Savior we also accept Him as Lord and Master. We are a child of the King and citizens in His kingdom. We should be willing to order our lives according to his principles of love. We understand that this does not save us, but that it is an inescapable part of our walk with Him, just as a married couple is already married, but works to please each other.”

“At the second coming of Jesus, those who are asleep in Christ will be raised up. Those of us who are still alive will be caught up with them to meet him in the clouds. We are taken to heaven with Him and the wicked are destroyed. After the 1000 years, we return to the earth where the wicked are resurrected for the great white throne judgment. Then they, Satan, and death itself are cast into the lake of fire, burned up, and the earth will be restored to its original beauty, unmarred by the effects of sin. Sin, sorrow and death will be no more.”
“Jesus is also our attorney in God’s pre-Advent Judgment which continues until Jesus comes. At that time he will already have determined who will receive His reward. The judgment reveals those who truly trust God and demonstrate their desire to live according to the way God made us and knows is best for us.”
— James 2:12,13; Luke 14:13,14; Ecclesiastes 12:14; Revelation 22:11,12
“Since there is a judgment, there must be a standard for that judgment. The Ten Commandants are the standard in God’s judgment and are His principles of love, which help us organize our lives according to his will. Since they help us know what God is like, they will never change. ”
— Matthew 5:17,18; James 2:10-13; Ecclesiastes 3:14-17; 1 John 4:16; Deuteronomy 6:5 & Leviticus 19:18; Matthew 22:34-40; John 14:15
“These commandments given to us by Jesus include the fourth commandment to keep holy the seventh day as the Sabbath, a glorious reminder that He is our Creator and Savior.

“We believe that the Three Angels Messages of Revelation 14 are God’s last message to the world before He comes again in glory. These messages proclaim the everlasting Gospel, announce the hour of God’s judgment has begun, call the world to worship the Creator, including the seventh day Sabbath, as well as warn the world against receiving the mark of the beast, and against false worship of the beast (the creature) instead of the Creator. ”
