The Bible, God’s Holy Word, is the foundation of everything we do. Scripture is a “two-edged sword, piercing to the division of the soul and spirit….discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.” (Hebrews 4:12). By the Holy Spirit’s illumination, the scriptures change us into becoming more like Christ. It is our intention to be rooted in the scriptures and Christ (Col 2:6-7) so that we grow to be more and more like Jesus Christ.

We don’t want to be stagnant in our faith and love for God rather we want to grow to be more Christ like. We don’t want to be “carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes” (Eph 4:14) but rather “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 3:18).

The law is summed up with the commands to love God and love our neighbor (Matthew 22:37-40). We are to show this kind of love for all people but particularly those who are in Christ (Gal 6:10). Therefore, we have a strong emphasis on obeying the command to “Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ” (Galatians 6:2)
