WhAt Are the religious beliefs of<br />

<strong>Adventist</strong>s?<br />

Seventh-day <strong>Adventist</strong>s share common beliefs with<br />

most other Christians, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g belief <strong>in</strong> the Tr<strong>in</strong>ity<br />

and salvation through Jesus Christ. We accept the<br />

whole Bible as the revelation of God, and believe the<br />

Ten Commandments express God’s love, will and<br />

purposes. Our beliefs Include:<br />

The Bible<br />

We believe the Bible is the only basis for Christian<br />

doctr<strong>in</strong>e. The Bible is God’s guide for life.<br />

The Tr<strong>in</strong>ity<br />

There is one God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, a unity of<br />

three co-eternal Persons.<br />

God the Creator<br />

God created all th<strong>in</strong>gs <strong>in</strong> six days. He rested on the<br />

seventh day of Creation Week, celebrat<strong>in</strong>g and enjoy<strong>in</strong>g<br />

what He had made. Man and woman were the crown<strong>in</strong>g<br />

work of God’s creation.<br />

Paradise Lost<br />

When Adam and Eve disobeyed God, the trust God<br />

bestowed on them was broken and the certa<strong>in</strong>ty of<br />

immortality was lost.<br />

The Ten Commandments<br />

In The Ten Commandments, God expla<strong>in</strong>s very clearly<br />

and simply what our relationship to him and others<br />

should be.
