What We Believe
What God has done, is doing, and will do in the future informs us about what being made in the "image of God" implies for mankind. Everything Disciple Daily does flows out of biblical doctrines firmly rooted in the grand story of the Bible.
we believe
One God eternally exists in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Genesis 1:26, Isaiah 6:8, 48:16, Matthew 3:16-17, 2 Corinthians 3:14)
We Believe
The Bible provides a factual account of the origins of Creation. In six literal days, the heavens and the earth were created. By disobedience, mankind separated itself from God through sin. Death entered the world.
(Genesis 1:1-2:25, Genesis 3:1-24, Romans 5:12)
(Genesis 1:1-2:25, Genesis 3:1-24, Romans 5:12)
We Believe
Yeshua / Jesus is the promised Messiah of the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament). He is fully God and fully man. He lived a sinless life, permanently atoning for believing man’s sins through His substitutionary death, burial, and resurrection. He is now seated at the right hand of God the Father.
(Genesis 3:15, Deuteronomy 18:18, Psalm 110:1-7, Isaiah 7:14,
Isaiah 53:1-12, Micah 5:2, John 1:1-18, John 1:35-51)
(Genesis 3:15, Deuteronomy 18:18, Psalm 110:1-7, Isaiah 7:14,
Isaiah 53:1-12, Micah 5:2, John 1:1-18, John 1:35-51)
We Believe
Messiah Jesus is the only way of salvation for anyone, Jew or Gentile, from the eternal consequences of their sin. The means of salvation has been the same for all people throughout history. Salvation is an entirely gracious work of God. Personal salvation is received upon the sole condition of one’s own personal faith in God’s only Son - Jesus. The act of faith by an individual is not reckoned as works. The righteousness of Messiah is imputed to the sinner, and he is regenerated to eternal life.
(Psalm 133:3, Daniel 12:22, John 3:16, John 4:14, John 17:2,
1 Thessalonians 4:16)
(Psalm 133:3, Daniel 12:22, John 3:16, John 4:14, John 17:2,
1 Thessalonians 4:16)
We Believe
The Holy Spirit empowers all believers to live a life pleasing to God. The Holy Spirit endows believers with gifts of His determination. In this age, God baptizes all new believers with the Holy Spirit at the moment of their belief. The Holy Spirit permanently indwells and seals all believers into one body, the Body of Messiah.
(Romans 15:13)
(Romans 15:13)
We believe
God’s gracious and unconditional covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob established Israel’s unique status as the elect nation. It established an irrevocable gifting of the land of Israel to the Jewish people forever. While all the families of the earth are blessed through Abraham’s seed (Jesus), Israel’s unconditional covenants will be completely fulfilled in Israel, not in/by the Church.
(Genesis 12:1-3, Romans 9:1-11:36)
(Genesis 12:1-3, Romans 9:1-11:36)
we believe
The Ekklesia (Church) began at Shavuot (Pentecost) and consists of all Jewish and Gentile believers of this age. Jewish believers of this age are members of both Israel and the Church. While Gentile believers share in the spiritual blessings of Israel’s unconditional covenants, the Ekklesia does not in any respect replace Israel as God’s Chosen People. In this age, the Church’s divinely mandated responsibilities are to make disciples of all nations following the "to the Jew first" prescription given directly to the Apostle Paul from the Lord Jesus. Evangelism, sharing the Gospel unashamedly, stems from the disciple-making process among all peoples of all nations.
(Matthew 28:18-20, Galatians 1:15-17, Romans 1:16)
(Matthew 28:18-20, Galatians 1:15-17, Romans 1:16)
we believe
Yeshua may return at any time to take His bride (Ekklesia / Church) from the earth to be with Him where He is forever, in an event known as the Rapture. The term "Rapture" is never used in the Bible. Nonetheless, Paul taught about this event. It will occur before a seven-year period of great difficulty known as the Tribulation on the Earth.
(John 14:1-3, 1 Corinthians 15:50–58, 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18)
(John 14:1-3, 1 Corinthians 15:50–58, 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18)
we believe
After the Tribulation, in response to penitent Israel’s plea, Yeshua will return physically to earth, destroy Israel’s enemies, and regather Israel’s remnant. He will establish a literal 1,000-year reign from Jerusalem known as the Millennial Kingdom, which was foretold in both the Old and New Testaments. Messiah will reign from David’s throne as King in Jerusalem over regenerate Israel and the entire earth.Following the Millennial Kingdom, the unsaved dead will be raised, judged, and cast into the Lake of Fire for eternity. Believers will enjoy eternity in Messiah’s presence in the New Jerusalem.
