4. Mankind is Sinful and Deserves Death

Romans 3:23 states that, "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."  Each and everyone of us has failed to live up to God's standard and we are accountable for each thought, action, and attitude.  Romans 6:23 states that, "the wages of sin is death."  We earn eternal punishment as a result of our sinfulness.  

I believe:
1. God exists in three persons (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit)
2. The Bible is the inspired word of God
3. God is the Creator of all things
4. Mankind is sinful and deserving of death
5. Christ died so that we may have life
