Peace and grace from God our Father and from the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of the heavenly lights, the Holy and Righteous One, the Almighty One who provides for all our needs. He does not leave us and will never forsake us.
We thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has called us to this blessed service by a commandment and commission from our Lord Jesus Christ—the Righteous Lamb who died for our sins, washed us in His blood, and made us kings and priests to God and His Father.
Our Lord Jesus Christ teaches us to call everyone to repentance and to urge those who have repented to produce works worthy of repentance. He also teaches us to call all who repent to be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and to ask God the Father for the baptism in the Holy Spirit. Through His apostles, our Lord Jesus Christ invites us to renew our minds by the power of the Holy Spirit and through the washing of water with the Word, so that we may know the will of God—His good, acceptable, and perfect will.
In short, we say with the Apostle Paul that Jesus Christ the Righteous, the Son of the living God, died for all, so that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for Him who died for them and was raised again.
We declare that we are part of the Church of Jesus of Nazareth throughout the whole world, and that the purpose of Jesus Christ is to sanctify and purify us through the washing of water with the Word. Our ambition is to bring every person into the fullness of Jesus Christ, and this can only be accomplished by the power of the Holy Spirit—the Spirit of Truth—who teaches us all things, bears witness to Jesus, and glorifies Him.
We live in very difficult times and are in desperate need of the Holy Spirit to enlighten our minds and reveal the future to us. We await the coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ according to His promise, and we look forward to the great revival that our Lord Jesus Christ will bring, as His prophets and messengers have preached.
We seek to obey our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ with all our ability. We acknowledge that without Him we can do nothing, and that with Him we can do all things.
We are going through very difficult times because many false teachings have entered the church. Many have followed these teachings, and because of this the way of truth is spoken against. Yet we have a great hunger and a strong desire to see the Church return to Jesus Christ and obey God the Father, who commanded us not to turn from His law and His Word to the right or to the left, so that we may prosper wherever we go.
We declare that, by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, we will never depart from the Word of God which He has spoken, but we will meditate on it day and night, so that we may observe and do all that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ has commanded us.
We recognize God’s calling in this service to focus on worship. Therefore, we will seek to establish gatherings devoted especially to prayer and praise, knowing that God is pleased with the sacrifice of praise—the fruit of our lips that openly profess His name. By the grace of God, we will not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
We believe that the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus—that great Shepherd of the sheep—will equip us with every good thing for doing His will. He will work in us what is pleasing to Him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
By the revelation of the Holy Spirit, we understand that God has given us a great promise, according to what is written: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived”—the things God has prepared for those who love Him.
The call of God upon our lives is to be conformed to the image of our Lord Jesus Christ in word and deed, as it is written: “For those He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren,” and this is accomplished by the Spirit of the Lord.
We declare our great need for one another, knowing that we are the body of Jesus Christ: if one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.
We believe that God will send a great revival to the Netherlands and to the whole world, and that He will give pastors according to His heart, who will feed the sheep with knowledge and understanding.
The Spirit and the Bride say: Come, Lord Jesus.
To our Father, who has adopted us, be all strength, honor, and glory through our Lord Jesus Christ forever and ever. Amen.
