These principles are part of our heritage. They form the rock solid foundation of who we are. We find our identity in these truths. We are a people who emphasize God’s sovereign saving initiative, God’s successful saving work, and God’s certain saving consummation. God, not man, is the focal point of the gospel we preach. He does not owe anyone salvation, but in His mercy, He has provided the means by which a multitude will be rescued from final destruction. For this, we owe Him eternal praise and adoration.
