Our Creed
IJNHope stands for “In Jesus Name Helping others on the path to
Eternity.”
- We believe that the only way to have eternity is to have a life through
the saving grace of Jesus Christ our Lord.
- We believe that God is the creator and author of all life who made the
Heavens and the Earth.
- The Bible is the irrefutable Word of God.
- Jesus Christ is God’s only begotten Son who was conceived by the Holy
Spirit, and born of the Virgin Mary.
- Redemption of sins is through Christ Jesus who suffered and was
crucified on the cross for the sins of humanity. He died and was buried, but
on the third day He arose and ascended into heaven where he sits at the
right hand of God the father until He comes again to reign forever.
- Upon His ascension, He sent the Holy Spirit to comfort us and live
inside us so that we would always have access to the God the Father through
the Son.
- We believe in the Holy Church, the communion of saints, in baptism and
the remission of sins.
- The Trinity is the crux of the Christian faith.
- As a ministry, we hold fast to proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ in
His name based upon Matt 28:18-20 the words of Jesus upon His ascension to
His disciples. “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name
of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to
obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to
the very end of the age.”
- It was through His Inspiration that the “Hope Pin” came about as a
symbol of “Christian Patriotism at its Best” for this great nation the
United States of America. The yellow at the top represents hope in “Father,
Son and the Holy Spirit. The three stars represent the Trinity, which is the
crux of the Christian faith. The 2 stars at the top represent God the Father
and Christ Jesus the Son at His right hand. The 1 star at the bottom
represents the Holy Spirit (which appears above the black stem of the
design) representing the fact that the Holy Spirit is there in our times of
darkness and death to comfort us.
- This ministry is founded upon Matt: 12:21 “In His (Jesus) name the
nations will put their hope.” We believe that there is only one hope for
this world and that hope is in Christ Jesus.
- Our belief is also upon 2Cor. 3:17 which states “Where the Spirit of the
Lord is there is Liberty.” Only where God’s Spirit resides is there true
freedom/liberty.
- The United States is a free nation because it is a Christian nation
founded on the Word of God (the Bible), which is the infallible Word of God
and the holy book of the Christian faith.
- The founding forefathers of this “One nation under God” believed that
freedom and God are inextricably tied together.
