We believe that all of mankind has sinned and is imperfect. Sin has various forms, ranging from selfishness to apparent acts of violence. The consequence of sin is death and eternal wrath.
We believe the Creator of the world, unlike mankind, is sinless. The Creator is perfect in every way.
We believe the Creator exists in three beings who are equal in all attributes: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Together, they have created this miraculous nature we see around us! The Creator’s infinite power, wisdom, and love hold nature together. This love was obviously demonstrated when the Son, Jesus-Yeshau, came to set us free from eternal death and wrath. Jesus-Yeshua chose to experience justified wrath and death to pay the penalty for sin.
We believe that the Holy Spirit is born inside us when we confess with our mouths and genuinely believe in our hearts that Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection lawfully paid the penalty for our sins. This is called being born again. At that supernatural moment, we become a new creature. With the Holy Spirit living inside us, we then desire to obey our Creator. And at that moment, He actually sees us as being His holy children set apart from the sinful world. Now, we can call the Creator of the universe our Father or Abba! We can begin to have a loving relationship with our eternal Father. This is regenerative living to the fullest!
We believe that Jesus’ death upon the cross lawfully paid the penalty for sin. Justice has been satisfied. Jesus broke the power of death by rising to life again. As Yahweh God’s children, we are saved from eternal damnation. Therefore, we can rejoice knowing there is no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus. Every believer in Christ will one day be reunited in Yahweh, God’s perfect eternal kingdom, where we will be completely free from the pain and suffering of sin and surrounded by our Father’s unconditional love.
Commitments to God and the Members
Jesus tells us in the Bible that the greatest commandment is to,
‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”
We commit to asking Yahweh God, the Father, to assist us in obeying these two commands.
What TEVA is NOT
Teva is not a public corporation, profitable business partnership, or any other form of a publicly incorporated association. Instead, this Association was created as a separate, lawful, spiritual, private, and unincorporated Faith-Based Association.
