We believe followers of Jesus Christ are called to love God and love people. (Mk. 12:29-31 | Jn. 13:34-35 | Jn. 15:17) Followers of Jesus love God by obeying His commands for human life as revealed in the Bible. (Mt. 7:12-14 | Jn. 14:15 | Rom. 12:1-2) In addition, followers of Jesus love people by proclaiming the good news of Jesus’ defeat of sin, evil, and death, and demonstrating God’s design for humanity through their relationships and actions. (Mt 5:43-48 | Acts 1:8 | 2 Cor. 2:14-16 | 2 Cor. 5:11-15 | 1 Pt. 3:13-17 | Jam. 2:14-17) By loving God and loving people, followers of Jesus participate in God’s plan to rescue and restore all creation through building His Kingdom. (1 Cor. 15:58 | 2 Cor. 5:6-10 | 2 Cor. 5:18-21 | Eph. 1:10-14 | Eph. 2:4-10)
