As a Christian church, Seventh-day Adventists are a faith community rooted in the beliefs described by the Holy Scriptures. Adventists describe these beliefs in the following ways:

God's greatest desire is for you to see a clear picture of His character. When you see Him clearly, you will find His love irresistible.

For many, "seeing God clearly" requires that they see God's face. However, how He looks is not the issue. Seeing and understanding His character is what's most important. The more clearly we understand Him, the more we will find His love irresistible. As we begin to experience His love, our own lives will begin to make more sense.

God most clearly reveals His character in three great events. The first is His creation of man and woman--and His giving them the freedom of choice. He created humans with the ability to choose to love Him or to hate Him! The death of Jesus Christ, God's only Son, on the cross as our substitute is the second great event. In that act He paid the penalty we deserve for our hateful choices toward God and His ways. Jesus' death guarantees forgiveness for those choices and allows us to spend eternity with Him. The third event confirms the first two and fills every heart with hope: Christ's tomb is empty! He is alive, living to fill us with His love! He went to heaven to prepare a place for us by ministering His blood for us. He promised to come back to take those that accepted His sacrifice on their behalf to be with Him enjoying eternal life without sorrow, pain and death. This last event is our greatest hope for the future. He who is the faithful witness to all these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon!” "Amen! Come, Lord Jesus! " Revelation 22:20

Scripture is a road map. The Bible is God's voice, speaking His love personally to you today. Please take this opportunity to get to know Him better.
