Who we are
Ask God is an initiative of an independent platform for churches and organizations in Gouda to, among other things, share the "Good News" of a truly free life!
What do we believe?
| Question | Answer | |
|---|---|---|
| God, who are You? | I am the God who made the earth and the heavens and all that is in them. | td> |
| But who is Jesus? | Jesus is My Son! 2000 years ago He came to live among people through the birth of the Virgin Mary. | |
| What did He do then? | He spoke in word and deed about the Kingdom that I have in mind. People mocked Him and at the age of 33 He was martyred on a cross. | |
| And what happened to His body? | It lay in a grave for 2 nights and rose on the 3rd day. | td> |
| But where is Jesus now? | A short time later He ascended into heaven and He now sits at My right hand. | |
| But will we ever see Him again? | In My time this world will come to an end. Jesus will then return on the clouds of heaven and justice will be done to all people, whether for good or for evil. | |
| So you've been leaving us to our own devices for 2,000 years? | Absolutely not! Shortly afterwards, with the ascension of Jesus, I also gave My Spirit. He now lives in the hearts of My children and is looking for people who want to be filled with My peace and joy. I also have a question for you: I am still looking for people who are open to My word. I would love to get in touch with them. I want to clean up the mess in their hearts for them. Now I knock at your heart; will you let Me in too? |
All churches around the world use a summary of the Christian faith: the Apostles' Creed. Our website also wants to assume that. You will find that summary of the Christian faith below:
1. I believe in God the Father, the Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth;
2. And in Jesus Christ his only begotten Son our Lord,
3. who through the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary,
4. who suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and buried, descended into the realm of death,
5. rose from the dead on the third day,
6. ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty,
7. whence He will come to judge the living and the dead.
8. I believe in the Holy Spirit;
9. I believe in the holy Church, the communion of saints;
10. the forgiveness of sins,
11. the resurrection of the body
12. and eternal life.
