The Creator must have a people united in
righteousness, being prepared for the soon second coming of
the Savior (Zeph. 3:12,13; Rev. 19:7,8 and Rev. 22:14).
This group of saints shall be "without fault before the throne of
God" (Rev. 14:5) and fitted to be translated to the Heavenly City,
New Jerusalem, without experiencing death. To call such a group of
people into fellowship with YAHSHUA, the Christ, and
to disciple them for speedy growth unto the full stature of Christ's
perfect character (Eph. 4:13), is our reason for existence.
The Creation 7th Day Adventist Church holds no creed but
the Bible, praying the prayer of Christ in John chapter 17, "that
they all may be one" as the Father and the Son are
perfectly one, and that all mankind might have the liberty of
conscience to worship God in their own
individual integrity.
The Church observes the
Bible Sabbath Day (Exodus 20:8-11) as the memorial of creation
and the sign of God's redemptive power to save erring mortals
from
sin and death (Eze. 20:12). This salvation is complete and
sufficient to provide every repentant, believing sinner with
continual victory over all known sin, and progressive victory
over sins brought to their understanding through life experiences
(1 John 3:6-9). Salvation is also the free gift of God by grace
and through faith in
- 1) the atoning sacrifice and shed blood of the Son of God,
- 2) His victory over the grave by resurrecting from the dead, and
- 3) His intercession for sinners,
acting as our High Priest in the Heavenly Sanctuary (Eph. 2:8,9).
The
"Creation 7th Day" in our name represents the first Sabbath
which God made for man (Mark 2:27) after He had finished all His
work of creation (Genesis 2:2,3). The word, "Adventist," in our
name signifies our belief in the soon literal second coming of the
Christ to take His people home to the Heavenly Kingdom City, the
New Jerusalem. The Creation 7th Day (Sabbath) designates more than
merely a day; it suggests a personal relationship with the Creator
which is to be so trusting and secure that no word but "rest" could
better describe it. Some call this "new-birth" experience
"The Sabbath Rest Principle."
Our Church Covenant reads as follows: "We, the
undersigned, hereby associate ourselves together as Christ's
Church, being identified as '[local congregation name] Remnant Church
of Creation 7th Day Adventists,' and in harmony with Revelation 14:12,
covenant to keep '
the commandments of God and the
faith of Jesus,' accepting His character as our heritage:
'YAH is Our Righteousness'
(Jer. 23:6; 33:16)."
