DBS Doctrinal Statement

We believe in one God who is the Maker of all things and being in Trinity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

We believe in the absolute Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ; His virgin birth; His real and perfect manhood; the authority of His teaching, and the infallibility of all His utterances; His work of atonement for sin by His suffering and death; His bodily resurrection and His ascension into Heaven; His present high-priestly intercession for His people; His Lordship over His church as its supreme Head, and His triumphant return to earth at the consummation of this age.

We believe that the person of the Holy Spirit has been sent to comfort, teach, direct, inspire, convict and empower Christ's church to proclaim the gospel; and to edify believers to live sacrificial, holy lives.

We believe in the full inspiration of the Scriptures of both the Old and New Testaments; their authority, sufficiency, and inerrancy, not only as containing, but as being in themselves the Word of God. We believe that God the Father has given first the Holy Spirit, and second, the testimony of History and leaders in His church for a true and spiritual understanding of the whole.

We believe in the resurrection of the dead, the realities of eternal happiness in heaven for the saved, and the eternal punishment of the lost in a tormenting hell.

We believe that the personal salvation of believers is only possible through repentance and faith in the person and sacrifice of Christ.

We believe that God the Father loves the world, sent His Son that all might be redeemed from damnation, and His foremost desire is the salvation of the lost.

We believe in sanctification by the blood of Christ, in personal holiness of heart and life, and in separation from the world.

We believe in the imminent, personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ.

We believe in intensive and deliberate world evangelism in accordance with the Great Commission, with the supreme need being the establishment of the local church, missionary work and continual prayer. (We believe that the unity of believers, the prayers of saints, and the rapid distribution of Bibles are critical to such work.)

The Digital Bible Society affirms and submits to the standards and principles of the Lausanne Covenant for World Evangelism.
