We believe and hope that the sincere preaching and publishing of the Gospel that
Jesus taught will help the eventual unification of God’s people – according to His perfect will and timing

The Gospel must first be published among all nations.
(Mark 13:10) |
Our Statement of Beliefs is published on the internet for all to see, know and
declare: http://www.childrenofgod.net/beliefs.htm
Because the True Church of God is a spiritual entity, we are spiritually affiliated with all
those who are striving to live their lives according to Christ's doctrine (Hebrews 6:1-2).
We count you as our brothers and sisters in Christ as you are led by God's Holy Spirit
(Romans 8:14).
Please understand that God's true Church is very small in comparison to this world.
But Jesus said:
| |
Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good
pleasure to give you the Kingdom. (Luke 12:32) |
We often receive requests for very noble endeavors such as orphanages, and
buildings for Sabbath services.
God well knows our physical requirements and He has promised to supply everything needed
to perform His work – if we will seek His righteousness and Kingdom first.
Jesus said:
| |
Seek first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all
these things shall be added unto you. (Matthew 6:33) |
We could all use more supplies and resources; but our faith is that God provides
according to His will.
No one would look to God if we were rich and doing great wonders because it
would be expected; but that is not how God is working with us.
| |
God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the
things which are mighty. (1 Corinthians 1:27)
|
Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the Lord of hosts.
(Zechariah 4:6)
But, my brothers and sisters in Christ, we true Christians are spiritually
rich.
God has blessed us with the priceless knowledge of His way of eternal life;
and that we are able to share with you.
| |
Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have, I give to you.
(Acts 3:6) |
We are inheritors of the entire universe! Notice what the Holy
Scriptures say:
| |
Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the
poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the Kingdom which He
hath promised to them that love Him? (James 2:5)
The promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that
are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. (Acts 2:39)
|
We direct our broadcasts to the world at large. Jesus Christ did say quite clearly
that the Gospel and the warning message were to go to the entire world – to all nations.
The original apostles did not fully complete that mission. Like Jesus, we are about our
Father's business of warning the world:
- We preach the soon coming return of Jesus Christ.
- We preach a warning message to the entire world.
- We preach that Jesus will set up His Father’s Kingdom.
This Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a
witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
(Matthew 24:14)
- We are a fellowship of True Believers who are endeavoring to
grow toward God’s moral excellence.
- Our beliefs are founded on the principles and doctrines of the
first century Church of God.
- We point people to God – not to any man or organization.
- We live Christian lives of caring concern and service to one
another.
- We know that Jesus left us an example when He laid His life
down for us.
- We believe that it is a salvational matter that we learn to
likewise lay our lives down for one another.

We know that we have passed from death unto life, because
we love the brethren. He that loves not his brother abides in death...
Hereby perceive we the love of God, because He laid down His life for us: and
we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. (1 John 3:14,16)
|
The most important spiritual accomplishment for us in this life is the development
of Godly Character. In these precarious last days when so many people are just limping
along spiritually, we are zealous – “on fire" – striving to live in accordance with God's
highest standard.
It is our desire that God’s Spirit guide us in all that we do. God intends
that all His people, who share in our true common faith, be really unified in and by His Spirit.
Jesus prayed the night before He died that we would all be “one” with Him and the
Father (John 17:11, 21-23)
The love and esteem that the Children of God demonstrate toward each other
extends to all within our spiritual affiliation – the Body of Christ – the Church of God.
| |
Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us,
that we should be called the Children of God: therefore the world knows us
not, because it knew Him not. Beloved, now are we the Children of God
(1 John 3:1-2) |
