II We believe in One God, eternally existing in three persons; Father, Son and Holy Spirit. III We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, and is true God and Man. IV We believe that man was created in the image of God, sinned and thereby incurred, not only physical death, but also spiritual death which is separation from God; that all human beings are born with a sinful nature and are in need of redemption. V We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross as a representative and sudstitutionary sacrifice for our sins and that all who believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood. VI We believe that He was bodily resurrected and ascended into heaven and at present acts for us a High Priest and Advocate. VII We believe that all who in faith receive the Lord Jesus Christ are born again of the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God. VIII We believe in the personal, literal return of the Lord Jesus Christ to judge the living and the dead and to reward every man according to his works. IX We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and of the unjust. X We believe in the eternal duration of the blessedness of the righteous and of the punishment of the wicked. XI We believe that every believer belongs to the Bride or Church of Christ and has the responsibility to so live and witness that the interests of Christ shall be advanced among men. XII We believe that Christians are to live a separated life; abstain from all carnal strife, worldly practice, worldly dress and worldly amusements.

4 STEINBACH BIBLE ACADEMY YEAR BOOK REV. B. D. REIMER Missions — Church History — Theology Lpzinaijia[± d l z.$ L ag 2 Timothy, 4:1-2. “I charge thee there¬ fore before ' God. and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the quick (living) and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom: Preach the Word: be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doc¬ trine.” The apostle had come to the end of his life; he had finished his course. He was ready to be offered, the time of his departure had come. But there was still a tremendous work to be done. Men were still on their way to an eternal hell. Christians were still in need of exhor¬ tation, reproof and rebuke. The church was still in danger of being made a prey of false teachers and false doctrine. As the apostle views this from his place of confinement after the sentence of death has been pronounced on him, the burden of human need is heavy up¬ on him. This burden, so characteristic of the apostle Paul, forces from him this solemn charge, “. . . Preach the Word . . .” He calls Timothy’s attention to the fact that he is responsible before God, whose herald he is; and before the Lord Jesus Christ, who had paid the tremen¬ dous redemption price, even His own blood. Who became sin for us, that we might be made His righteousness; Who tasted death for every man that they might have life; Who suffered that we might reign; from whom the face of God was turned, that it might be turned to us; Who took the power from Satan that we might realize the power of God; Who was lowered to the brink of hell that we might be exalted to heaven; Who des¬ troyed the works of the devil that we might inherit the mansions of God in heaven. But not only this. The responsibility becomes more real as Paul turns from the past and present to the future. Jesus Christ is coming to judge. When He will come we do not know; but that He will come we know. Then He is going to judge both the living and the dead, those alive in Christ, and also the dead out of Christ. Then each person will face the conse- Continued on page 36
