Our Belief
WE ARE:
Echo Life Ministries
Georgia
We are a non-denominational Ministry to help build proper discipling for men and women (18+). Our hope is to create a Discipling Ministry in the town, county, and anywhere God leads us to establish small groups for men and small groups for women where they meet regularly, pray for one another, study the Bible, keep each other accountable, and have fun together as believers in Jesus Christ.
Our hope is to have a 3 part ministry plan. Discipling groups will be the foundation, but the plans are: 1) Establishing a Coffee Café for the local town (maybe others) as a community get together, place to hang, and provide good coffee, tea, and food; 2) To rent or buy a place to be a local meeting place for discipling groups and classes, and if God opens a door for a church we will go down that road; 3) Eventually buy land to build a ministry ranch to help broken and hurt Christians to have a place to come for a time to spend time with God.
We are a Bible Believing Ministry that wants to make aware of the false teachings going on in the church and ministries. We stand heavily in encouraging Christians to read their Bible to know and apply it into their lives. When we see men and women chasing after God with their whole heart, they will be changed.
Trinity
We believe in the Trinity: God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit the Comforter. They are 3-in-1, they are the same God as 3 persons. [Gen 1:26; 1 Cor 12:4-6; 2 Cor 13:14; John 14:16-17; Eph 4:4-6]
Fall of Humankind
Men and Women are born into the Sin Nature due to the sin of Adam by disobeying God after made in His image. Through disobedience humankind fell into sin. The Fall created separation with God, and sacrifice is needed to forgive sins- the coming of Jesus as Savior.
[Genesis 3]
Sin & Jesus
Sin separated us from God. Sin's penalty is the curse from the fall, and eternal death from God's presence. There is a need for a Savior, and Jesus was sent by God (for he Loved the World) to live a perfect sinless life, do the ministry of God (called to disciples to spread the gospel), and then willingly die on the cross (taking on the sin of the world). After 3 days Jesus rose from the dead defeating sin and the sting of death for all humanity. As long as you accept Jesus as Savior and follow Him. All who do not know Him as Savior will end up in Hell. [Gal 5:19-21; James 1:14-15; 1 John 3:4-6; Romans 6:12–14; John 3:16-17; Gal 4:4-5; 1 Tim 1:15; Romans 5:17-18
The Bible (OT & NT)
The Bible is Infallible (Makes no mistakes) and is the complete Word of God. It what we are to Stand Firm in, defend, and understand. It is the book we are to obey, and if anyone tries to use it for their personal ideology they are false teaching the Truth. [John 1:1-5; 2 Peter 1:19]
Christian Disciple
Living a life as a Believers, a Christian Disciple, we not only accept Jesus as our Savior, but we are to be His Followers. We are to accept that the Bible is true, that we obey God, and tell others about what Jesus did for us. [John 8:31–38; 2 Timothy 2:1–2; John 13:34–35]
