What We Believe

Business to Barrio is a Christian ministry.  As such, we believe:

• The Bible is the inspired word of God and is the our authority in all matters of faith and conduct. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

• There is one living sovereign God who eternally exists in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. (Rev. 1:8; Isaiah 43:10-11; Deut. 6:4; Matt. 28:19)

• God created people in his own image and everyone matters to God. (Gen. 1:26-27; Gen. 5:1-2)

• Jesus was sent by the Father to live on earth; he was fully God and fully human, yet had no sin. Jesus willingly laid down his life and after three days rose from the grave. In doing this Jesus paid the penalty for the sin of all mankind. (Luke 1:31,35; 1 Cor. 15:3; 2 Cor. 5:21)

• All people are sinners and need God’s forgiveness. (Romans 3:23)

• Those who confess and turn from their sin, trusting in Jesus, will be saved by grace and become children of God with the promise of eternal life. (John 3:16-17; Gal. 3:26)

• The Holy Spirit was sent by the Father and Son to convict the world of sin and to empower all who believe in Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit lives in every believer and is a constant teacher, helper and guide. (John 14:16-17)

• Jesus Christ will return and there will be a final judgment for all of us. (Matt. 24:3,37)
