Because the Christadelphians are a Bible based group, our distinctive beliefs all come straight from Bible teaching. A small selection of Bible references are given to support each statement:

God Isa 45:5-6; Gen 1; Num 14:21

• There is only one God, the Father
• God created the entire universe with a purpose

The Bible 2 Tim 3:15-16; 2 Pet 1:20-21

• The Bible is the only inspired revelation of God
• It reveals God's purpose to humans

Jesus Lk 1:35; Rom 1:3-4

• Jesus is the Son of God
• He is also the Son of Man through Mary

Jesus - his life Rom 8:13; Heb 2:14

• Jesus could have sinned yet he lived a sinless life
• He overcame the daily temptations of life

Jesus - his death Rom 10:9-13; 1 Tim 1:15-16

• He died to save his followers from sin and death.
• After three days God raised him from the dead

Jesus - now Mk 16:19; Acts 1:9-11

• Jesus now sits at the right hand of God in heaven
• He will remain there until he returns to the earth

Jesus - future Jn 5:26-29; Isa 9:6-7

• On returning he will raise and judge responsible people
• As King he will establish the worldwide Kingdom of God

Man's hope Ecc 9:5-6; Rom 5:21

• At death man ceases to exist
• The only hope of life is resurrection at Christ's return

Man's response Mk 16:15-16; Rom 6:4

• Belief in the Bible message, God's promises to us in Jesus
• Repentance and baptism by full immersion in water
• A new life dedicated to God, following Christ's example.

Thus the hope of a Christadelphian is for resurrection at the return of Christ to the earth and to be with him in the Kingdom of God. This is an event which we believe the Bible makes clear will be soon!
