Our World Belongs to God

I hope you will be encouraged by these opening articles of Our World Belongs to God, a modern expression of what we believe.  To read the entire document, click here.


1. As followers of Jesus Christ, living in this world—

which some seek to control, and others view with despair—

we declare with joy and trust: Our world belongs to God!


2. From the beginning, through all the crises of our times,

until the kingdom fully comes, God keeps covenant forever:

Our world belongs to God!

God is King: Let the earth be glad!  

Christ is victor: his rule has begun!

The Spirit is at work: creation is renewed!  

Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!
