“Place your mind before the mirror of eternity, Place your soul in the
brightness of His glory, Place your heart in the image of the divine
essence and transform yourself by contemplation utterly into the

God Seventh-day Adventists base their faith in God as revealed through
Jesus Christ and as shown through the Bible, inspired by the Holy Spirit.
(Gen. 1:1; Rev. 4:11; 1 Cor. 15:28; John 3:16)
Welcome to Ruth
Seventh-day Adventist Church
Faith Faith means placing complete trust in God, and accepting his offer of
salvation. Such trusting faith is fundamental to Adventist beliefs. A living
relationship with God is essential to faith. (Phil. 1:20-30; 1 Thess. 5:8; Matt.
6:30)
The Bible Written down over many years, the Bible presents the essential
truth about God. The Holy Spirit inspired human writers to reveal the
character of God and how he wishes to save all those who come to him. The
Bible explains the nature of God and the way God’s followers will behave as
a result of their relationship with him. (2 Peter 1:20-21; Ps. 119:105; Isa.
8:20; John 17:17; Heb. 4:12)
The Gospel The heart of the Adventist message is the gospel, God’s good
news of salvation. Through Jesus’ death on the cross human beings may be
won back to love and trust God, and accept God’s free gift of eternal life for
all those who follow him. (Matt 4:23; Rom. 10:15; 1 Peter 4:1-7) CreationCreator of the Universe, Christ formed our world in six days, and created the
first man and woman. At the close of his creative work, God gave the
Sabbath as a day of celebration and worship. (Gen 1&2; Ps. 19 1-6; Heb.
11:3)
The Sabbath The seventh-day Sabbath (Saturday) is given as a reminder of
the God who both creates and saves, and is the day God invites all to come
and worship him. Jesus observed the seventh-day Sabbath while on earth,
and Adventists follow his example in keeping the fourth of the Ten
Commandments. (Exo. 20:8-11; Luke 4:16; Matt. 12:1-12; Mark 1:32)
The Second Advent Adventists look forward to the soon return of Jesus
Christ as prophesied and as he himself promised, but do not set any date for
this glorious event when he comes to take home all who accept him as their
Lord. (Titus 2:13; Heb. 9:28; Rev. 1:7; Mark 13; 1 Thess. 5:1-6)
Life after Death and the Future Adventists follow Jesus in identifying those
who die as sleeping. Those who have trusted God are raised to life when
Jesus returns, and look forward to a wonderful future--eternal life in God’s
presence. (Rom. 6:23; Eccl. 9:5, 1 Cor. 15:51-54; John 5:28, 29; Rev. 20:1-10)
Baptism and Commitment Those who choose to accept God’s way for
their lives and his offer of eternal life demonstrate their belief through
baptism (being immersed in water), following the example of Jesus.
Adventists follow lives of commitment to God and his plan for us, which
include following his commands as being for our best good. (Matt. 28: 19-20;
Rom. 6:1-6; Acts 16:30-33)
