What We Believe

This page will tell you about some of the distinctive beliefs of Christadelphans

Because the Christadelphians are a Bible based group, our distinctive beliefs all come straight from Bible teaching. A small selection of Bible references are given to support each statement:

God - Isa 45:5-6; Gen 1; Num 14:21

• There is one true God
• God created the entire universe with a purpose

The Bible - 2 Tim 3:15-16; 2 Pet 1:20-21

• The Bible is the inspired revelation of God to man
• It reveals God's purpose to us

Jesus - Lk 1:35; Rom 1:3-4

• Jesus is the Son of God
• He is also the Son of Man through Mary

Jesus' life - Rom 8:13; Heb 2:14

• Jesus could have sinned yet he lived a sinless life
• He overcame the daily temptations of life

Jesus' death - Rom 10:9-13; 1 Tim 1:15-16

• He died to save his followers from sin and death. After three days God raised him from the dead

Jesus now - Mk 16:19; Acts 1:9-11

• Jesus now sits at the right hand of God in heaven
• He will remain there until he returns to the earth

Jesus future - Jn 5:26-29; Isa 9:6-7

• On returning he will raise and judge responsible people
• As King he will establish the worldwide Kingdom of God

Man's hope - Ecc 9:5-6; Rom 5:21

• At death man ceases to exist
• The only hope of life is resurrection at Christ's return

Man's response - Mk 16:15-16; Rom 6:4

If we hope to be united with God and Jesus, and live in their future Kingdom, the Bible requires us to:

• Believe in the Bible message, God's promises to us in Jesus
• Repent and be baptised by immersion in water
• Live a new life dedicated to God, following Christ's example.

Thus the hope of a Christadelphian is for resurrection at the return of Christ to the earth and to be with him in the Kingdom of God. This is an event which we believe the Bible makes clear will be soon!
