Confession of Faith
I believe Jesus Christ is the great I Am (John 8:58)
I believe Jesus is the bread of life. Whoever comes to him will never go hungry and whoever believes in him will never be thirsty. (John 6:35)
I believe Jesus is the light of the world. Whoever follows him will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life. (John 8:12)
I believe Jesus is the gate. Whoever enters through him will be saved. (John 10:9)
I believe Jesus is the good shepherd. He lays down his life for the sheep. (John 10:11)
I believe Jesus is the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in him will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in him will never die. (John 11:25)
I believe Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through him. (John 14:6)
I believe Jesus is the true vine. Whoever remains in him and he in them; will bear much fruit. Apart from Jesus no human being can do anything. (John 15:5)
I believe Jesus is the Alpha and Omega, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty. Amen. (Revelation 1:8)
