Falls OPC

1. We believe that our one aim in life and death is to
glorify God and to enjoy Him forever, and that God
teaches us how to do this in His eternal Word, the
Bible.
2. We believe the system of teaching taught in the
Westminster Confession of Faith, Larger and Shorter
Catechisms, sometimes called the Reformed faith.
3. We believe The Bible has no errors, and in it God
tells us what to believe and how to live a godly life.
4. We believe that there is only one living and true
God, and yet He is three persons: Father, Son and
Holy Spirit.
5. We believe God created everything and sustains it
now.
6. We believe that in the first sin of our first great-
grandfather Adam, we fell into sin with all human
beings, making us all guilty before God.
7. We believe that we cannot save ourselves by any
decision of ours or any other means, but rather that
God loved us and saved us through the death and
resurrection of His Son, Jesus Christ.
8. We believe that the Holy Spirit of God applies to
us the work that Jesus accomplished on the cross
to save us, and that the Holy Spirit now dwells in us.
9. We believe that the church is essential.
10. We believe that Jesus will be coming again in
glory to judge the world and to take us home to
live with God, Father, Son & Holy Spirit, forever in
heaven.

We believe, as stated in the Heidelberg Catechism,
Question 1:
What is your only comfort in life and in death?
Answer: That I, with body and soul, both in life and
in death, am not my own, but belong to my faithful
Savior Jesus Christ, who with His precious blood has
fully satisfied for all my sins, and redeemed me from
all the power of the devil; and so preserves me that
without the will of my Father in heaven not a hair
can fall from my head; indeed, that all things must
work together for my salvation. Wherefore, by His
Holy Spirit, He also assures me of eternal life, and
makes me heartily willing and ready from now on to
live unto Him.
