OUR BELIEFS
Christianity is a faith of many ideas. Here are our core beliefs at By This Love.
GOD IS LOVE
John 13:35 is the foundation of our faith: “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
GOD IS JUST
We believe that God cares about injustice. The Christian God does not condone or approve of slavery, colonization, or racial heirarchies.
WE KNOW GOD IN PART
No one on earth has a full and complete knowledge of God. Our mission is to share perspectives and experiences from our personal relationship with God. This is not the complete story of who God is; it is only a snapshot of an almighty God.
A GOD FOR EVERYDAY LIFE
We believe that God is ready and desires to guide us in every area of our lives. From work to family, to health, friendship, and relationships. God wants to be a part of all that concerns us. He is not indifferent like the world may be about injustices such as racism, sexism, oppression or other issues. He loves us and He cares deeply. He wants us to seek Him in everything.
The message of God brings freedom
Christ comes to set us free. Often, when humans teach about Christ, the two become intertwined. God is not motivated to judge, imprison, limit, or punish us. He is motivated to liberate and to love us. We actively monitor our messages to ensure that we do not deliver our message through God’s word but that we allow God to speak through our human vessels. We recognize that a message from God can be challenging and even difficult to hear but it always leaves us feeling liberated because we have heard from God.
