Digging a Well Ministries

  1. The Scriptures

We believe the 66 books of the old and new testaments, from Genesis to Revelation to be inspired by God, trustworthy and without error.  The Bible is therefore the foundation of all we believe. (2 Tim 3.16; 2 Pet 1.21)

  1. God

We believe in the triune God revealed in the scripture – Father, Son and Holy Spirit – Who is Creator, Lord and Redeemer of all mankind. (Gen 1.1; Mt 28.19; Ac 17.24; Is 53.6

A.  We believe Jesus Christ was, and is the Divine Son of God, who lived a sinless life,  taught the truth and performed miracles. We believe He died for the lost, rose from the dead, ascended to heaven and shall return for His children and establish His kingdom. (Joh 5.17-18; 2 Cor 5.21; Joh 18.20; Joh 21.25; Ro 5.6; Ac 10.38-40; Ac 1.9-11; Joh 14.3)

B.  We believe the Holy Spirit brings conviction to the lost and His gifts and fruit to the believer. We believe the Holy Spirit desires to fill and lead all followers of Christ. (Joh 16.8; Ro 12.6-8; Gal 5.22-23; Eph 5.18; Gal 5.16-18; )

  1. Mankind

We believe that man was created in the image of God but fell in the Garden of Eden and that all mankind has sinned and are in need of the salvation. (Gen 1.27; 2.17; 3.6-19; Ro 3.10,23)

  1. Salvation

We believe in salvation by grace through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ and that individuals cannot be saved through their own self effort or good works.  We believe those who are saved will spend eternity in heaven and the lost eternity in hell. (Ep 2.8-9; Tit 3.5; Joh 14.1-6; Re 20.15)

  1. Responsibility of the Christian

We believe every believer in Christ should make it their goal to love God, love others, fellowship with other believers, obey the teachings of Christ and his word and share the gospel of Christ with as many people as possible. (Lk 10.27; Ps 119.11; Josh 1.8; Mt 28.18-20)
