What 1TrueWay Believes

Declaring the truth of God’s Word and the hope found in Jesus Christ.

One God

1TrueWay believes there is one true God who has always existed in three persons — the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

(Genesis 1:1; Matthew 28:19; John 1:1–3; Acts 5:3–4; 2 Corinthians 13:14; Ephesians 4:5–6)

Jesus Christ

1TrueWay believes Jesus Christ is the Son of God — fully God and fully human. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, lived a sinless life, died for our sins, and rose from the dead.

(Matthew 1:18–25; Luke 1:26–38; Romans 9:5; Titus 2:13)

The Bible

1TrueWay believes the Bible is God’s inspired Word — completely true and without error in its original form. It is our final authority for what we believe and how we live.

(Isaiah 40:8; Matthew 24:35; 2 Timothy 3:16; Hebrews 4:12; 2 Peter 1:20–21)

Humanity and Sin

1TrueWay believes every person was created in God’s image but has been separated from Him because of sin. All people fall short of God’s standard and need His forgiveness.

(Genesis 1:26–27; Romans 3:23; 5:12–18; 1 John 1:8)

Salvation Through Jesus

1TrueWay believes Jesus died on the cross as our substitute, taking the punishment we deserve. He rose again on the third day, defeating death, and offers forgiveness and eternal life to all who trust in Him.

(John 3:16; Romans 3:24–26, 10:9; 1 Corinthians 15:3–4; Ephesians 1:7)

New Life in Christ

1TrueWay believes that anyone who puts their faith in Jesus is born again by the Holy Spirit and becomes a child of God forever. Salvation is a gift received by grace through faith — not by our own efforts.

(John 1:12–13; Ephesians 2:8–9; 1 Peter 1:23)

The Return of Christ

1TrueWay believes Jesus will one day return personally and powerfully, just as He promised.

(Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17)

Faith and Suffering

1TrueWay believes faith is essential to please God, but true faith does not guarantee an easy life. God often uses trials to strengthen and shape our faith.

(Luke 9:23; 2 Corinthians 12:7–10; Philippians 1:29–30; Hebrews 11:6, 32–40)

Resurrection and Eternity

1TrueWay believes everyone will be raised from the dead — believers to everlasting joy with God, and unbelievers to everlasting separation from Him.

(Matthew 25:31–46; John 5:28–29; 1 Corinthians 15:20–57; Revelation 20:11–15)

The Holy Spirit

1TrueWay believes the Holy Spirit lives in every believer from the moment of salvation, giving power to live for God. As we daily surrender to His leading, He fills and strengthens us to walk in obedience.

(John 14:16–17; Romans 8:9–11; Ephesians 5:18)

The Church

1TrueWay believes the Church is made up of all who follow Jesus. Each believer has been given spiritual gifts to serve others and build up the body of Christ. No single gift is given to everyone or proves spiritual maturity.

(Romans 12:4–8; 1 Corinthians 12:12–13; Ephesians 4:4–16)

Baptism and Communion

1TrueWay believes Jesus commanded His followers to be baptized as a public declaration of faith and to take part in communion as a reminder of His sacrifice and our unity with Him and His Church.

(Matthew 28:18–20; Romans 6:3–5; 1 Corinthians 11:23–26)
