WHAT IF EVERYTHING GOD PROMISED IS TRUE?
The Vernon Christadelphian Ecclesia is excited to share the exciting message of the Bible. This resource is offered to help your search for God through actual Bible study rather than traditional church teaching.
The Bible IS the Word of God and the foundation upon which faith is built: “Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” Romans 10:17. All our activities rely on the teachings of Jesus, and his apostles and disciples as recorded in the New Testament.
Can We Really Know God and His Purpose?
God’s purpose in creation was to invite humans to be God honoring believers. His plan is to “fill the earth with God’s glory” (Numbers 14:21). Unfortunately, mankind fell from grace, but the creator provided a plan for salvation, including the promise of one to come who would ‘save people from their sins’ and restore the believers to God’s favor. This promised descendant of Adam, and also of Abraham and David is fulfilled in Jesus of Nazareth, who is described as “son of man” by birth through Mary and “son of God” by the conception of the Holy Spirit of God.
Jesus is the fulfillment of the promises made to these three men, and demonstrated his obedience to his Fathers will. With the testimony that he never sinned, he became the offering that God required to save believers from their sins. He died upon a cross at the hands of sinful people and was laid in a tomb, but was raised to life after three days.
His resurrection is the ‘first fruit’ of the promised resurrection. This event confirmed the power of God and provided proof that God will “perform that which he promised”, IE that God could and would raise the dead. Jesus is the means by which all may be forgiven.
The World’s Future Is Not Uncertain. God Has Revealed It.
Mankind’s only hope is in the word of God’s promise. Salvation from mortality will be fulfilled when Jesus returns to earth to set up the Kingdom of God (Acts 1:10-11). When? At God’s appointed time! (Acts 17:31).
The Bible is the wholly inspired Word of God, and reveals the only record of God’s purpose. Discover God’s Purpose for the World—and Your Place in It
The Christadelphian’s are a world wide community without a paid ministry. We are people committed to the service of God and united by a fundamental acceptance of the Bible as God’s revealed word. We live in hope of His promises:
1 To Adam: the promise of a seed that would destroy the power of death. Genesis 3:15
2 To Abraham: A descendant who would bring about the blessing of believers from all nations, and a promise inheritance of the earth. Genesis 12:1-3,7
3 To David: The promise of a King to sit upon David’s throne over Israel. 2 Samuel 7:12-16

About Me
My name is Bill Hlina. I am a disciple of Jesus dedicated to understanding the purpose of the God of the Bible. I accept and believe the Bible is the inspired and infallible word of God. By inspired, I mean that it is the Word of God. By infallible, I mean that it is true from Genesis to Revelation. I believe that the Earth is the reward that God has promised to men as stated in Numbers 14:21
“As truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord.”
God’s glory is His character, which will be seen in Godly people. This character was manifested in Jesus Christ, who God appointed to save people from their sins. God is not willing for anyone to perish, but that they may respond to the call of the Gospel (good news) of Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of God.
The Work
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
