Statement Of Faith

Sheri Rose Shepherd, His Princess Ministries

There is one God, Creator of all things, holy, infinitely perfect, and existing eternally in three persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. God is Love and He loves all people. It is His desire to reach out to those who are poor, oppressed, widowed, or orphaned and to heal the brokenhearted.~ John 10:30; John 14:26; Philippians 2:5-7: Psalm 68:5,6; 1 John 4:16

The Bible is the infallible Word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit, and contains every answer to man’s problems.~ 2 Timothy 3:16,17; 2 Peter 1:20, 21

God created man in His image, but man (and woman) sinned and alienated themselves and all mankind from God. Only through God’s saving work in Jesus Christ can we be rescued, reconciled and renewed. Without Jesus we cannot have a relationship with God. Jesus Christ is Israel’s promised Messiah. He was conceived through the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. Jesus Christ, as our representative and substitute, shed His blood on the cross as the perfect, all-sufficient sacrifice for our sins.~ Genesis 1:26; 1 Timothy 2:5; John 1:1-4; John 3:16

We can have a personal relationship with God through salvation, God’s free gift to man through Jesus Christ. It is not a result of what we do, but it is only available through God’s unearned favor. By admitting we have sinned and believing in the death, burial and resurrection of Christ, and accepting Him as Lord, we can spend eternity with God.~ Ephesians 2:8,9; Romans 5:1; Romans 3:24

The Holy Spirit indwells and gives life to believers, enables them to understand the Scriptures, empowers them for godly living, and equips them for service and witness. God gives all believers spiritual gifts. They are for the strengthening of God’s people (the church) and proof of God’s existence and power to unbelievers. The gifts of the Spirit are active and relevant today.~ 1 Corinthians 12:4-11; 1 Peter 4:10

God commands us to love Him supremely and others sacrificially, and to live out our faith with care for one another, compassion toward the poor and justice for the oppressed. With God’s Word, the Spirit’s power, and fervent prayer in Christ’s name, we are to combat the spiritual forces of evil. In obedience to Christ’s commission, we are to make disciples among all people, always bearing witness to the gospel in word and deed.~ John 14: 12-16; Matthew 28:19

Jesus will come again to earth and take all those who have accepted Him as Savior to heaven for eternity. ~ Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17; Hebrews 9:28
