The Bible is the word of God, showing us how to live. It reveals God’s will and teaches us timeless lessons we can apply to all parts of our lives.

This book tells us who God is, where we came from, how much God loves us, and how we can live out His love in our own lives. That alone makes it the most precious book on earth—a steady constant in a world that is always changing.

Seventh-day Adventist Christians believe there is one God. And that this one God is three co-eternal Persons who work together in unity. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit have always been, and always will be.

It’s impossible to wrap our finite minds around this infinite concept. How does the doctrine of the Trinity work? How can there be one God, but three persons? Let’s dig into Scripture and find out.

Scriptural References:

Genesis 1:26; Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 6:8; Matthew 28:19; John 3:16; 2 Corinthians 1:21, 22; 13:14; Ephesians 4:4-6; 1 Peter 1:2

The Bible tells us that God is our Father—a good, perfect, loving Father.

Human fathers may fail us, but we have a Father in Heaven who loves us with a perfect, unconditional love.

Jesus taught us to call Him “our father.” He exists in eternal and mysterious unity with the Son and the Holy Spirit as one Godhead, and is the source of everything in existence.

Seventh-day Adventists embrace what the Bible teaches us about God, the all-knowing, all-powerful, benevolent Father.

Scriptural References:

Genesis 1:1; Revelation 4:11; 1 Corinthians 15:28; John 3:16; 1 John 4:8; 1 Timothy 1:17; Exodus 34:6, 7; John 14:9.

The Bible frequently mentions the “Son of God.” But how can God have a “son,” and what should that mean to us?

Let us keep in mind that Jesus is the Son not in the sense of having been created, but because He partakes of the same divine nature as God the Father. Adventists embrace the belief that Jesus is the eternal Son of God, and is also fully God Himself and part of the Godhead. He was sent to earth to minister to us, live as our example, and ultimately bear the eternal punishment of our sins. He is now our advocate, our High Priest, the relatable link between us and God the Father.

The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Godhead, or the Trinity. He is the One who guides us into a closer walk with Christ.

The Holy Spirit is fully God, more than an influence or a force. He has the personhood and mind of God, and performs a special duty to help us connect with God the Father. The Spirit also guides us in our lives.

He was sent by Christ as the personal presence of God for those dwelling on earth. When received, the Spirit will transform your life to reflect Jesus Christ.

Genesis tells us the story of the 6-day creation week, followed by the first Sabbath. God’s relational love is introduced right away as he creates a perfect world, then personally forms the first two human beings to populate this planet.

Seventh-day Adventists hold to this creation account in Genesis and the idea of intelligent, loving design. The attention, foresight, and tender care God displays in this process inspires us to live grateful lives to honor our Creator.

Seventh-day Adventists look to the Bible to tell us who we are. It gives us the whole story of where we came from, and why we are the way we are.

When we look at the choices we make in life, even the small daily choices, it’s easy to feel like we’re a jumble of contradictions.

We can spend the whole day at a job where we help others, then come home and snap at a family member for no particular reason. We can try our hardest to be kind and patient with someone we love, only to say something harsh to them at the worst possible moment.

We are capable of great empathy and selflessness—and we are also capable of cruelty, hatred, and insensitivity. Why are we like this?

It’s not uncommon to see people do horrible things for good causes. Others try their best to do the right thing but end up making things worse. How can pure good and pure evil exist in such a confusing world?

The Bible helps make these moral struggles clear. It tells how each of us are caught in an epic battle between good and evil.

This battle encompasses the entire world and was being fought before humanity even began. And, just like in all good stories, the Bible tells us that good eventually comes out on top. God will prevail, and evil will be destroyed.

This epic battle is sometimes referred to as the “Great Controversy,” the conflict between God and Satan. And all humanity is caught up in it due to our free will, and the fact we chose the “knowledge of good and evil” back in the Garden of Eden.

Though humanity is sinful and corrupt (Romans 3:23), God is love (1 John 4:8). In His love for us He devised a plan “before the foundation of the world” (Ephesians 1:3-14) to redeem mankind from sin.

This plan involves God’s only Son, Jesus Christ, being born of a virgin, taking on our humanity, and then dying in our place—bearing the eternal consequences of sin so we can be reconciled with God (John 3:16). Through Him humanity can find atonement for our sins, as He was willing to be our substitute, suffering the condemnation that should have been meant for us.

While on earth, Jesus also lived a sinless life of love so we could have an example to live by.

His life, death, and resurrection made way for our salvation and shows us what love really looks like.

Salvation is being saved from our sins and accepting God’s gift of eternal life. When you accept God’s salvation, you can be at peace about your future. You don’t have to live in fear because God has promised to save you from the eternal consequences of sin.

When we choose salvation, we accept that we are God’s children.

“As many received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name” (John 1:12, KJV).

God gave His Son, Jesus Christ, to make the ultimate sacrifice and redeem us from sin. Sin leads to death, but since Jesus died in our place, we are no longer condemned to die forever. We can claim this gift through our belief and allegiance to Him.

Salvation is God’s free gift to us, as long as we accept it. But then what? What should our lives be like once we have the assurance of salvation?

When we accept Jesus as our Savior, the biggest change is that we are no longer slaves to our selfish, sinful nature.

We will still have struggles with sin as we grow spiritually, but God gives us the Holy Spirit to live in our hearts and guide us. We are a “new creation” in Christ as we learn more about Him and grow our faith (2 Corinthians 5:17).

When you think of the word “church,” what comes to mind? Is it a building with stained glass windows? Is it people dressed up, congregating to sing hymns?

The church is the community of believers who confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. In continuity with the people of God in Old Testament times, we are called out from the world; and we join together for worship, for fellowship, for instruction in the Word, for the celebration of the Lord’s Supper, for service to humanity, and for the worldwide proclamation of the gospel. The church derives its authority from Christ, who is the incarnate Word revealed in the Scriptures. The church is God’s family; adopted by Him as children, its members live on the basis of the new covenant. The church is the body of Christ, a community of faith of which Christ Himself is the Head. The church is the bride for whom Christ died that He might sanctify and cleanse her. At His return in triumph, He will present her to Himself a glorious church, the faithful of all the ages, the purchase of His blood, not having spot or wrinkle, but holy and without blemish.

When you hear the term “remnant” as it’s used in the Bible, it refers to a group of people who remain loyal to God after a time of hardship.

There is special meaning to the remnant of believers that will exist in the last days, when earth is at its worst, right before Christ’s Second Coming.

Scripture tells us who will make up this end-time remnant: those “who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus” (Revelation 12:17, ESV).

The universal church is composed of all who truly believe in Christ, but in the last days, a time of widespread apostasy, a remnant has been called out to keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. This remnant announces the arrival of the judgment hour, proclaims salvation through Christ, and heralds the approach of His second advent. This proclamation is symbolized by the three angels of Revelation 14; it coincides with the work of judgment in heaven and results in a work of repentance and reform on earth. Every believer is called to have a personal part in this worldwide witness.

What does unity look like among many different groups of diverse people?

The Seventh-day Adventist Church is a worldwide denomination, spanning multiple cultures, languages, etc. However, while fully appreciating the uniqueness God created us with, Adventists also work together toward the same goal—sharing the gospel of Jesus to the far corners of the earth.

The church is one body with many members, called from every nation, kindred, tongue, and people. In Christ we are a new creation; distinctions of race, culture, learning, and nationality, and differences between high and low, rich and poor, male and female, must not be divisive among us. We are all equal in Christ, who by one Spirit has bonded us into one fellowship with Him and with one another; we are to serve and be served without partiality or reservation. Through the revelation of Jesus Christ in the Scriptures we share the same faith and hope, and reach out in one witness to all. This unity has its source in the oneness of the triune God, who has adopted us as His children.

The biblical practice of baptism demonstrates a person’s commitment to Jesus Christ. It’s a public ceremony proclaiming that Jesus is their Lord and Savior.

Seventh-day Adventists believe and practice the biblical custom of baptism by immersion, in a similar way that Jesus Christ was baptized by John the Baptist.

This motion of immersion symbolizes Christ’s death and resurrection, which provides the forgiveness of our sins. By going through this symbolic act, we proclaim to accept Christ’s sacrifice and acknowledge Him as our Savior.

Romans 6:1-6; Colossians 2:12, 13; Acts 16:30-33; 22:16; 2:38; Matthew 28:19, 20.

Seventh-day Adventist Christians take part in the Lord’s Supper, or communion service, as a commemoration of Jesus’ sacrificial death on the cross. It’s a time to reflect upon what Jesus has done for us, and to respectfully express this gratitude as a church family.

The Lord’s Supper is a simple celebration of Jesus’ sacrifice and promise, but its significance is profound. It is a unifying act of worship, joy, and remembrance of our Savior’s unmatchable love.

Seventh-day Adventists practice open communion. All believers who claim Jesus is their Lord are welcome to take part in the service.

Scriptural References:

Matthew 26:17-30; John 6:48-63; 13:1-17; 1 Corinthians 10:16, 17; 11:23-30; Revelation 3:20.

We all have a special talent that we’ve found to be useful. For some of us, it might be musical skill or athletic prowess. For others, it might be a good eye for logistics or a knack for understanding other people’s feelings. Our talents come in a thousand different shapes and sizes.

God has endowed us with the talents we have, and He often calls us to use those talents for the good of others, with the Holy Spirit as our guide.

When used in service of others or sharing the gospel, these talents are often referred to spiritual gifts. Sometimes, as we grow spiritually, the Holy Spirit might even empower us with a new gift, or help us discover gifts we never realized we had all along!

Scripture gives us additional insight on how we should treat these gifts of the Holy Spirit.

Scriptural References:

Acts 6:1-7; Romans 12:4-8; 1 Corinthians 12:7-11, 27, 28; Ephesians 4:8, 11-16; 1 Timothy 3:1-13; 1 Peter 4:10, 11.

Prophecy is one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit that God bestows upon humanity, as explained in 1 Corinthians 12, 1 Corinthians 14, Ephesians 4 and Romans 12. A person with this gift receives special insight from the Holy Spirit so they can share these messages from God with others.

Adventists embrace the significance of all the spiritual gifts, including prophecy, recognizing anyone can be used in this way if so moved by the Holy Spirit. One of the founders of the Adventist Church, Ellen White, is a prominent figure in history who demonstrated this gift in her ministry. This gift is demonstrated by the many prophets and prophecies throughout Scripture.

Scriptural References:

Numbers 12:6; 2 Chronicles 20:20; Amos 3:7; Joel 2:28, 29; Acts 2:14-21; 2 Timothy 3:16, 17; Hebrews 1:1-3; Revelation 12:17; 19:10; 22:8, 9.

The Law of God is also referred to as the “decalogue,” “God’s Law” or “The Ten Commandments.” In some places you might see them displayed on signs, murals or sculptures in yards, on church walls, or on statues and buildings.

They are some of the oldest moral guidelines known to man. The law of God was first written down in the Old Testament of the Holy Bible.

These 10 commandments are found in Exodus 20 and have served as a moral blueprint for humanity to live a life of freedom, respect and virtue for many generations.

The first few commandments help us maintain a healthy relationship with God, and the rest guide our relationships with other humans. They are a way for humanity to express our devotion and obedience to God, and a way for God to express His will and character to us.

Scriptural References:

Exodus 20:1-17; Deuteronomy 28:1-14; Psalms 19:7-14; 40:7, 8; Matthew 5:17-20; 22:36-40; John 14:15; 15:7-10; Romans 8:3, 4; Ephesians 2:8-10; Hebrews 8:8-10; 1 John 2:3; 5:3; Revelation 12:17; 14:12.

The Sabbath was established at the end of the creation week—the seventh day—after God created the heavens, the earth, and the first humans. He “blessed the seventh day and made it holy” because He rested from all His work (Genesis 2:2-3, ESV).

The gracious Creator, after the six days of Creation, rested on the seventh day and instituted the Sabbath for all people as a memorial of Creation. The fourth commandment of God’s unchangeable law requires the observance of this seventh-day Sabbath as the day of rest, worship, and ministry in harmony with the teaching and practice of Jesus, the Lord of the Sabbath. The Sabbath is a day of delightful communion with God and one another. It is a symbol of our redemption in Christ, a sign of our sanctification, a token of our allegiance, and a foretaste of our eternal future in God’s kingdom. The Sabbath is God’s perpetual sign of His eternal covenant between Him and His people. Joyful observance of this holy time from evening to evening, sunset to sunset, is a celebration of God’s creative and redemptive acts.

The word steward, which means “manager,” is mentioned several times in the Bible. Sometimes the actual term is used, and sometimes it’s discussed in principle.

Adventists define a good Christian steward as someone who understands God is the creator and owner of everything. However, God empowers us as managers of the blessings He gives us. He has entrusted us with time and opportunities, abilities and possessions, and the blessings of the earth and its resources.

We are God’s stewards, entrusted by Him with time and opportunities, abilities and possessions, and the blessings of the earth and its resources. We are responsible to Him for their proper use. We acknowledge God’s ownership by faithful service to Him and our fellow human beings, and by returning tithe and giving offerings for the proclamation of His gospel and the support and growth of His church. Stewardship is a privilege given to us by God for nurture in love and the victory over selfishness and covetousness. Stewards rejoice in the blessings that come to others as a result of their faithfulness.

Adventists believe the actions and words that sum up our behavior can be the best witness there is to the love of Jesus Christ. By claiming Jesus as our savior from sin, we put away the self-focused behavior of the world and replace it with humble Christian behavior that glorifies Him (Colossians 3:1-17).

But if we all make mistakes and struggle with sin, how can we make sure our behavior consistently reflects the character of God?

Fortunately the Bible gives us timeless guidance on what kinds of intentions, behaviors and attitudes are beneficial to us, to others, and to God. To help us apply that guidance, Jesus’ actions during His earthly ministry served as an example for living a Godly life.

Genesis 7:2; Exodus 20:15; Leviticus 11:1-47; Psalms 106:3; Romans 12:1, 2; 1 Corinthians 6:19, 20; 10:31; 2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1; 10:5; Ephesians 5:1-21; Philippians 2:4; 4:8; 1 Timothy 2:9, 10; Titus 2:11, 12; 1 Peter 3:1-4; 1 John 2:6; 3 John 2.

Just as God is a relational God, He created humanity for relationships as well. He established the first marriage with Adam and Eve, then blessed them to “be fruitful and multiply” (Genesis 1:28).

Seventh-day Adventist Christians uphold God’s biblical counsel for healthy relationships and happy homes. Strong families are foundational to a thriving church and a close-knit community.

Marriage was divinely established in Eden and affirmed by Jesus to be a lifelong union between a man and a woman in loving companionship. For the Christian a marriage commitment is to God as well as to the spouse, and should be entered into only between a man and a woman who share a common faith. Mutual love, honor, respect, and responsibility are the fabric of this relationship, which is to reflect the love, sanctity, closeness, and permanence of the relationship between Christ and His church.

Genesis 2:18-25; Exodus 20:12; Deuteronomy 6:5-9; Proverbs 22:6; Malachi 4:5, 6; Matthew 5:31, 32; 19:3-9, 12; Mark 10:11, 12; John 2:1-11; 1 Corinthians 7:7, 10, 11; 2 Corinthians 6:14; Ephesians 5:21-33; 6:1-4.

The ancient Biblical sanctuary and its services (Exodus chapters 25-27) reveal profound lessons for us today. Seventh-day Adventists believe these Old Testament services are a representation of the work Christ does for our salvation. The construction and arrangement of the earthly sanctuary is a model of the heavenly sanctuary (Hebrews 8:1-5).

After His death and resurrection, Jesus returned to Heaven. He promised that He went to “prepare a place” for us (John 14:3, NKJV). The ancient tabernacle and its services show us how Jesus is working to prepare us for our heavenly home.

Leviticus 16; Numbers 14:34; Ezekiel 4:6; Daniel 7:9-27; 8:13, 14; 9:24-27; Hebrews 1:3; 2:16, 17; 4:14-16; 8:1-5; 9:11-28; 10:19-22; Revelation 8:3-5; 11:19; 14:6, 7; 20:12; 14:12; 22:11, 12.

“The Second Coming” refers to the return of Jesus Christ as described in Revelation, Hebrews, the Gospels, and many other places.

The first time Jesus came to earth, He was only a baby. After His ministry on earth, crucifixion, and resurrection He returned to Heaven “to prepare a place” for His followers (John 14:3). He also promises His return (1 Corinthians 15:23), in which the first resurrection occurs, He brings His followers to heaven with Him, and sin and Satan will be destroyed forever.

The Second Coming is something to hope for. It is a literal event, a personal encounter, a visible experience, and a worldwide occasion. It’s the culmination of the plan of salvation!

Most people have wondered at some point in their life about death, the afterlife, and where they will end up. As humans we know that one day we will die. No one on this earth lives forever.

It’s not something we really like to think about. It may even feel like an uncomfortable subject. But the question remains.

The good news is, we do have a reliable source that tells us how to navigate this tough subject. Seventh-day Adventists uphold what the Bible says about what happens when we die and after we die.

The wages of sin is death. But God, who alone is immortal, will grant eternal life to His redeemed. Until that day death is an unconscious state for all people. When Christ, who is our life, appears, the resurrected righteous and the living righteous will be glorified and caught up to meet their Lord. The second resurrection, the resurrection of the unrighteous, will take place a thousand years later.

After the Second Coming of Christ, there is a 1000-year time period called The Millennium in which all the believers reside in heaven until Satan and sin is forever destroyed, and the Earth is made new again.

It’s mentioned in Revelation 20, explaining that these believers will “reign with Christ” (vs. 4) for that time period.

That sounds amazing. So what does that mean? How do we “reign with Christ” in heaven? And what else happens during this 1000-year reign?

And also, what about all the people who chose not to follow God? What about the problem of sin? What is Satan going to be up to while we’re all sitting in Heaven?

Let’s look to the Bible to found out more.

Scriptural References:

Revelation 20; 1 Corinthians 6:2, 3; Jeremiah 4:23-26; Revelation 21:1-5; Malachi 4:1; Ezekiel 28:18, 19.

At Jesus’ Second Coming, the believers who are still alive will be joined by the believers God will raise from the dead. And everyone will be taken to heaven with Him (1 Thessalonians 4:17).

But that’s not the end of the story.

We will stay in heaven with Jesus for 1000 years (the Millennium), where we can learn directly from Him why everything turned out the way it did.

After that, the earth will be cleansed with a quick, purifying fire. Satan and his angels, along with anyone who chose not to accept Christ’s sacrifice, will cease to exist. Evil and sin will be no more.

Then awaits our final destiny.

“For I will create a new heavens and a New Earth…” (Isaiah 65:17, CSB).

God will make a “new” earth out of the ashes of the “old” earth. The New Earth will be our eternal home, the way God intended it from the beginning.

That sounds wonderful, and it’s also a lot to take in. So we’ll dig further into Scripture for all the details.

We believe in the power of prayer, both individually and corporately, as an expression of faith in God's work in our lives. Prayer is an essential part of a Christian life and is used to talk to God and to communicate with Him. We pray for guidance, strength, healing, protection, and for our families, friends, and community. Through prayer, we seek to deepen our understanding of God's will and His plans for our lives. Praying helps us grow closer to God and to gain a better understanding of His will and how we can best serve Him. When we pray, we open ourselves up to God and He will answer us in His own way and in His own time. Prayer is a beautiful and powerful way to communicate with our Heavenly Father and to seek His love and guidance.
