JOYCE INTERNATIONAL MINISTRIES MISSION STATEMENT
*********************************** (a) We believe in God, the almighty creator of the heaven and the earth. (b) We believe that God is eternally one. (c) We believe in the trinity. Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. And that the three are distinct, but not separate. Each Person of the Godhead coexists from everlasting to everlasting. We believe in the Messiah, Jesus Christ as God's only begotten son, God come in the flesh. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary. Suffered the Cross. He was crucified, Died and was buried. On the third day, He triumphantly arose. Soon thereafter He ascended into heaven. and is now seated at the right hand of God the Father, He will return to judge both the living and the dead and reign for evermore. We believe all mankind are sinful and are therefore subject to God’s wrath and condemnation. We believe that everyone is in need of God's salvation. Man is not able to fulfill the demands of God's righteousness, His holiness and His glory. Therefore, God, sent His Only Begotten Son, to accomplish redemption for us through the shedding of Jesus blood. Because of His Son's death, God has forgiven us of all our sins; He has reconciled us to Himself, and justified us by making Him our righteousness. We believe that salvation is a gift received by faith, by the Messiah alone, and is expressed in the individual’s recognition and repentance of sin, and the acceptance of the risen Messiah as the Saviour, Lord and God. We believe in the supreme Lordship of Jesus Christ, before whom every knee in heaven and on earth will bow. and that there is no other name under Heaven by which we can approach the holy throne of God. Jesus Christ is the one and only mediator between God and man.
We believe that immediately upon death, the soul of the believer is absent from the body, and transported directly into Gods presence. We believe in the ongoing work of sanctification through the Holy Spirit after redemption for the purpose of producing life changing fruit -- love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and self-control which is not governed by law. We believe that the 66 books of the Holy Bible, from Genesis to Revelation is The Absolute and Entire Word of our God.
