WHAT IS THE GOSPEL?

The gospel is the good news that all of the Bible points to. It is the fact that even though humanity turned away from God and separated ourselves from our Creator, he did not turn away from us. He moved towards us in love, and sent his Son Jesus—fully God and fully man—to live among us and perfectly reveal to us the glory of God. He lived the perfect life in communion with God that we were meant to live. And then Jesus sacrificed himself on the cross, taking on the punishment of our sins, and dying the death that we deserved to die. Three days later, he rose from the grave, defeating death, so that all who put their faith and trust in him are restored to life to enjoy an eternal relationship with God.

Basic Beliefs

These basic doctrines within Doxa Church's Statement of Faith represent what we believe to be the core elements of biblical teaching.

Doctrine

God has made Himself known to the world in Jesus Christ, the Scriptures, and creation.

Doctrine
of Humanity

We believe that all humanity is created in the image of God and possesses intrinsic dignity and worth.

We believe that salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.

The Church
