We Believe in the Triune God
We affirm the one true God, the Creator and sustainer of all, existing eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God’s nature is holy and loving, inviting us into a relationship that reflects God’s divine love and relational holiness (Genesis 1:1; In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Psalm 90:2; Before the mountains were born, before you gave birth to the earth and the world, from beginning to end, you are God. Jeremiah 29:13; If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me. Isaiah 6:3; They were calling out to each other, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of Heaven’s Armies! The whole earth is filled with his glory!” 1 John 4:8; But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love. 1 Peter 1:13-16; So prepare your minds for action and exercise self-control. Put all your hope in the gracious salvation that will come to you when Jesus Christ is revealed to the world. 14 So you must live as God’s obedient children. Don’t slip back into your old ways of living to satisfy your own desires. You didn’t know any better then. 15 But now you must be holy in everything you do, just as God who chose you is holy. 16 For the Scriptures say, “You must be holy because I am holy.” Romans 5:5). And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.

We Believe We Were Created for Relationship, yet Broken by Sin
Human beings are made in God's image, designed to enjoy unending relationship with God and to act as God’s agents on earth. Yet, we recognize our rebellion against God’s goodness and truth, which leads to separation from God and corrupts creation. This reality underscores our deepest need for redemption (Genesis 1:27; So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. Romans 3:23; For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. Genesis 3; Isaiah 59:2; It’s your sins that have cut you off from God. Because of your sins, he has turned away and will not listen anymore. Ephesians 2:1-3; Once you were dead because of your disobedience and your many sins. 2 You used to live in sin, just like the rest of the world, obeying the devil—the commander of the powers in the unseen world. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God. 3 All of us used to live that way, following the passionate desires and inclinations of our sinful nature. By our very nature we were subject to God’s anger, just like everyone else. Romans 5:12; When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned. Colossians 1:21-22; This includes you who were once far away from God. You were his enemies, separated from him by your evil thoughts and actions. 22 Yet now he has reconciled you to himself through the death of Christ in his physical body. As a result, he has brought you into his own presence, and you are holy and blameless as you stand before him without a single fault. Psalm 51:5). For I was born a sinner—yes, from the moment my mother conceived me.

We Believe Our Salvation was Initiated by the Father, Revealed in the Son and Realized in Us by the Holy Spirit
In His great love, the Father initiated a plan of salvation that culminates in Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Fully God and fully man, Jesus lived a sinless life, died sacrificially, and was resurrected, providing the means for our reconciliation with God. Our salvation is a gift of grace, received through faith —it's not by our works but through repentance and trust in Christ. The Holy Spirit works the wonder of regeneration within us upon our faith in Christ (John 3:3-8, 16;Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, unless you are born again,a you cannot see the Kingdom of God.” 4“What do you mean?” exclaimed Nicodemus. “How can an old man go back into his mother’s womb and be born again?” 5Jesus replied, “I assure you, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit.b 6Humans can reproduce only human life, but the Holy Spirit gives birth to spiritual life.c 7So don’t be surprised when I say, ‘Youd must be born again.’ 8The wind blows wherever it wants. Just as you can hear the wind but can’t tell where it comes from or where it is going, so you can’t explain how people are born of the Spirit.” Romans 6:23;For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. Ephesians 2:8-9;God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. 9Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. Acts 3:19;Now repent of your sins and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped away. 1 Corinthians 15:3-4;I passed on to you what was most important and what had also been passed on to me. Christ died for our sins, just as the Scriptures said. 4He was buried, and he was raised from the dead on the third day, just as the Scriptures said. 2 Corinthians 5:17;Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.a The old has passed away. Behold, the new has come! Colossians 1:13-14;He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of His beloved Son, 14in whom we have redemption,d the forgiveness of sins. Titus 3:4-7).But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared, 5He saved us, not by the righteous deeds we had done, but according to His mercy, through the washing of new birtha and renewal by the Holy Spirit. 6This is the Spirit He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7so that, having been justified by His grace, we would become heirs with the hope of eternal life.

We Believe We are Guided by the Sacred Word of God
We hold the Bible as the inspired Word of God, the supreme Voice of our church family for matters of life and faith. Its teachings guide us toward life change and spiritual growth, revealing the path to living in accordance with Christ’s life. Jesus is our ultimate revelation and He is the key to our understanding of the Biblical narrative (Luke 24:44-48;Jesus said to them, “These are the words I spoke to you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about Me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms.” 45Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures. 46And He told them, “This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, 47and in His name repentance andd forgiveness of sins will be proclaimed to all nations, beginning in Jerusalem. 48You are witnesses of these things. 2 Timothy 3:16-17;All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for instruction, for conviction, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17so that the man of God may be complete, fully equipped for every good work. Colossians 3:16;Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. James 1:23-25;For anyone who hears the word but does not carry it out is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror, 24and after observing himself goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 25But the one who looks intently into the perfect law of freedom, and continues to do so—not being a forgetful hearer, but an effective doer—he will be blessed in what he does. Hebrews 4:12;For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it pierces even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It judges the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Acts 2:42; 20:32).They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. (20:32) And now I commit you to God and to the word of His grace, which can build you up and give you an inheritance among all who are sanctified.

We Believe Our Faith is Best Embodied by the Church Community
As believers, we embody the Gospel as the church of Christ; to be a unified community where love, vulnerability, and mercy are to define our relationships. We serve one another and God with our spiritual gifts, recognizing that all people matter to God and therefore should matter to us (Matthew 9:12-13;On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 13But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’c For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.d” Matthew 9:36-38;When He saw the crowds, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. 38Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest.” Luke 15; 1 Timothy 2:3-6;This is good and pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, 4who wants everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 6who gave Himself as a ransom for all—the testimony that was given at just the right time. Matthew 18:14;In the same way, your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish. Matthew 28:19;Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Romans 12:3-8;For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but think of yourself with sober judgment, according to the measure of faith God has given you. 4Just as each of us has one body with many members, and not all members have the same function, 5so in Christ we who are many are one body, and each member belongs to one another. 6We have different gifts according to the grace given us. If one’s gift is prophecy, let him use it in proportion to his faith; 7if it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; 8if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is giving, let him give generously; if it is leading, let him lead with diligence; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully. Ephesians 4:31).Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, outcry and slander, along with every form of malice.

We Believe Life-Change Happens Best through Relationships and Spiritual Practices
Followers of Christ are those spiritually born again who become humble seekers of spiritual growth, seeking to become like Christ. The Holy Spirit empowers us daily to live lives that glorify God, uniting us with Christ as we pursue spiritual growth and maturity together. Through supportive relationships, healthy spiritual dialogue and both individual and corporate spiritual practices, we experience transformation by God’s Holy Spirit that reflects God's love for the world Matthew 6; Acts 2:44-47;All the believers were together and had everything in common. 45Selling their possessions and goods, they shared with anyone who was in need. 46With one accord they continued to meet daily in the temple courtsl and to break bread from house to house, sharing their meals with gladness and sincerity of heart, 47praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved. Acts 13:2-3;While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.” 3And after they had fasted and prayed, they laid their hands on them and sent them off. Romans 8:29;For those God foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers. Galatians 5:13;For you, brothers, were called to freedom; but do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh. Rather, serve one another in love. Ephesians 4:17-32;So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. 18They are darkened in their understanding and alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardness of their hearts. 19Having lost all sense of shame, they have given themselves over to sensuality for the practice of every kind of impurity, with a craving for more. 20But this is not the way you came to know Christ. 21Surely you heard of Him and were taught in Him—in keeping with the truth that is in Jesus— 22to put off your former way of life, your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; 23to be renewed in the spirit of your minds; 24and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. 25Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his neighbor, for we are all members of one another. 26“Be angry, yet do not sin.”d Do not let the sun set upon your anger, 27and do not give the devil a foothold. 28He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing good with his own hands, that he may have something to share with the one in need. 29Let no unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building up the one in need and bringing grace to those who listen. 30And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, outcry and slander, along with every form of malice. 32Be kind and tenderhearted to one another, forgiving each other just as in Christ God forgave you. Ephesians 5:3-20;But among you, as is proper among the saints, there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed. 4Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk, or crude joking, which are out of character, but rather thanksgiving. 5For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure, or greedy person (that is, an idolater) has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. 6Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things the wrath of God is coming on the sons of disobedience. 7Therefore do not be partakers with them. 8For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light, 9for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness, and truth. 10Test and prove what pleases the Lord. 11Have no fellowship with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. 12For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. 13But everything exposed by the light becomes visible,b for everything that is illuminated becomes a light itself. 14So it is said: “Wake up, O sleeper, rise up from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.” 15Pay careful attention, then, to how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, 16redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 17Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is. 18Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to reckless indiscretion. Instead, be filled with the Spirit. 19Speak to one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your hearts to the Lord, 20always giving thanks to God the Father for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Philippians 1:6;being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Colossians 3:1-11;Therefore, since you have been raised with Christ, strive for the things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. 2Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. 3For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. 4When Christ, who is youra life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory. 5Put to death, therefore, the components of your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires, and greed, which is idolatry. 6Because of these, the wrath of God is coming on the sons of disobedience.b 7When you lived among them, you also used to walk in these ways. 8But now you must put aside all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. 9Do not lie to one another, since you have taken off the old self with its practices, 10and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. 11Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, or free, but Christ is all and is in all. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18;Rejoice at all times. 17Pray without ceasing. 18Give thanks in every circumstance, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Timothy 1:4-5;or devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies, which promote speculation rather than the stewardship of God’s work, which is by faith. 5The goal of our instruction is the love that comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and a sincere faith. 2 Timothy 2:15;Make every effort to present yourself approved to God, an unashamed workman who accurately handles the word of truth. Hebrews 10:24-25;And let us consider how to spur one another on to love and good deeds. 25Let us not neglect meeting together, as some have made a habit, but let us encourage one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching. Hebrews 12:1-3;Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off every encumbrance and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with endurance the race set out for us. 2Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the authora and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3Consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. 1 Peter 2:1-3;Rid yourselves, therefore, of all malice, deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander. 2Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, 3now that you have tasted that the Lord is good. 1 Peter 4:10-11).As good stewards of the manifold grace of God, each of you should use whatever gift he has received to serve one another. 11If anyone speaks, he should speak as one conveying the words of God. If anyone serves, he should serve with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.

We Believe in Cruciformed Discipleship to Christ
We embrace the Cross as the power of our salvation but also as the power of our discipleship, calling us to embrace a life shaped by Christ’s sacrificial love and humility expressed in His Cross. We take up the Cross daily, following Christ’s example of selflessness and service as we seek to reflect His character in our lives. In this way, we embody the essence of the Gospel, demonstrating love and grace to others. (Matthew 16:24;Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross, and follow me. 1 Corinthians 1:18;The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God. Ephesians 5:1-2;Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children. 2Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us and offered himself as a sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God. Galatians 2:20;My old self has been crucified with Christ.e It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Philippians 2:5-8).You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. 6Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. 7Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, 8he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross.

We Believe There is a Realm Beyond What We See Where Adversarial Forces Oppose Us
While we may not fully understand the angelic realm, the Biblical narrative reveals a consistent “adversarial figure” from Genesis 3 to Revelation, seeking to disrupt our lives, faith, church, and the Gospel. Our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of evil. This calls us to focus on the true adversaries undermining our mission and unity, wielding spiritual weapons like truth, righteousness, justice seeking, compassion, faith, and prayer. Genesis 3; Luke 10:18;“Yes,” he told them, “I saw Satan fall from heaven like lightning! Matthew 4:1-11;Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted there by the devil. 2For forty days and forty nights he fasted and became very hungry. 3During that time the devil came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become loaves of bread.” 4But Jesus told him, “No! The Scriptures say, ‘People do not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” 5Then the devil took him to the holy city, Jerusalem, to the highest point of the Temple, 6and said, “If you are the Son of God, jump off! For the Scriptures say, ‘He will order his angels to protect you. And they will hold you up with their hands so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.’” 7Jesus responded, “The Scriptures also say, ‘You must not test the Lord your God.’” 8Next the devil took him to the peak of a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9“I will give it all to you,” he said, “if you will kneel down and worship me.” 10“Get out of here, Satan,” Jesus told him. “For the Scriptures say, ‘You must worship the Lord your God and serve only him.’” 11Then the devil went away, and angels came and took care of Jesus. John 8:44;For you are the children of your father the devil, and you love to do the evil things he does. He was a murderer from the beginning. He has always hated the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies. Romans 16:20;The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. May the grace of our Lord Jesus be with you. Ephesians 6:12-19;For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. 13Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. 14Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness. 15For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared.e 16In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil.f 17Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere. 19And pray for me, too. Ask God to give me the right words so I can boldly explain God’s mysterious plan that the Good News is for Jews and Gentiles alike. 2 Corinthians 10:4;We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments. James 4:7;So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 1 Peter 5:8-9;Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. 9Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that your family of believers all over the world is going through the same kind of suffering you are. Revelation 12:9).This great dragon—the ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, the one deceiving the whole world—was thrown down to the earth with all his angels.

We Believe that Love is the Greatest Commandment
Love is the supreme ethic of our faith, as taught by Jesus. We are called to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind, and to love each other as Jesus has loved us and to love our neighbors even if they oppose us, or oppose the Gospel, or oppose our practices. (Matthew 22:37-39;Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’e 38This is the first and greatest commandment. 39A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ Matthew 5:43-48;“You have heard the law that says, ‘Love your neighbor’ and hate your enemy. 44But I say, love your enemies!r Pray for those who persecute you! 45In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven. For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and the unjust alike. 46If you love only those who love you, what reward is there for that? Even corrupt tax collectors do that much. 47If you are kind only to your friends, how are you different from anyone else? Even pagans do that. 48But you are to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect. John 15:13;There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. 1 John 2:7-11;Dear friends, I am not writing a new commandment for you; rather it is an old one you have had from the very beginning. This old commandment—to love one another—is the same message you heard before. 8Yet it is also new. Jesus lived the truth of this commandment, and you also are living it. For the darkness is disappearing, and the true light is already shining. 9If anyone claims, “I am living in the light,” but hates a fellow believer, that person is still living in darkness. 10Anyone who loves a fellow believerb is living in the light and does not cause others to stumble. 11But anyone who hates a fellow believer is still living and walking in darkness. Such a person does not know the way to go, having been blinded by the darkness. 1 John 4:11-21).Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other. 12No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and his love is brought to full expression in us. 13And God has given us his Spirit as proof that we live in him and he in us. 14Furthermore, we have seen with our own eyes and now testify that the Father sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. 15All who declare that Jesus is the Son of God have God living in them, and they live in God. 16We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love. God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them. 17And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in this world. 18Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love. 19We love each other because he loved us first. 20If someone says, “I love God,” but hates a fellow believer, that person is a liar; for if we don’t love people we can see, how can we love God, whom we cannot see? 21And he has given us this command: Those who love God must also love their fellow believers.

We Believe in Christ’s Return and Anticipate It Worshipfully
We look forward with hope to the personal return of Christ, when He will resurrect the believers and restore all creation and establish His everlasting Kingdom. In that day, we will dwell with Him forever, fully realizing the promise of eternal life (1 Thessalonians 1:10;And they speak of how you are looking forward to the coming of God’s Son from heaven—Jesus, whom God raised from the dead. He is the one who has rescued us from the terrors of the coming judgment. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18;And now, dear brothers and sisters, we want you to know what will happen to the believers who have died so you will not grieve like people who have no hope. 14For since we believe that Jesus died and was raised to life again, we also believe that when Jesus returns, God will bring back with him the believers who have died. 15We tell you this directly from the Lord: We who are still living when the Lord returns will not meet him ahead of those who have died. 16For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, the believers who have died will rise from their graves. 17Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Then we will be with the Lord forever. 18So encourage each other with these words. Revelation 22:12;“Look, I am coming soon, bringing my reward with me to repay all people according to their deeds. Romans 8:18-23;Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will reveal to us later. 19For all creation is waiting eagerly for that future day when God will reveal who his children really are. 20Against its will, all creation was subjected to God’s curse. But with eager hope, 21the creation looks forward to the day when it will join God’s children in glorious freedom from death and decay. 22For we know that all creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 23And we believers also groan, even though we have the Holy Spirit within us as a foretaste of future glory, for we long for our bodies to be released from sin and suffering. We, too, wait with eager hope for the day when God will give us our full rights as his adopted children, including the new bodies he has promised us. Matthew 25:34;“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world. John 14:3).When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am.
