Christian Union |
So if Jesus sets you free, you will be free indeed." (John 8:36)
|
At CU, we passionately believe a life in Jesus is the only way to be FREE. Only He can rescue us from sin & the separation from God we deserve; enabling us to be who we were designed to be. We have a heart for learning to live and grow in that freedom in Christ at Uni & seeking to point others towards it. The CU movement has 2 main aims: mission and maturity. This year in Caledonian CU, these aims are expressed in the following vision: To share the good news about Jesus through increasingly knowing Him as Saviour and Lord and building one another up in love, as each part of His Body does its work. By mission, we mean sharing Jesus on campus evangelism and in everyday life with our friends, through words and actions. It is vital we grow closer to God by getting into His Word, being taught & discussing it together, so we can better put it into practise for life today. We also have the privilege of building one another up as we get to know each other in meetings, studying and praying together in hall groups, prayer groups. Each of us has been designed by God to fulfil a specific role He has for us, and this includes serving in action teams as well as in our everyday lives. Maturing involves growing in each of these, since they are all vital and complement each other. |
UCCF Doctrinal Basis
The basis of the Fellowship shall be the fundamental truths of Christianity, as revealed in Holy Scripture, including:
a. There is one God in three persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
b. God is sovereign in creation, revelation, redemption and final judgement.
c. The Bible, as originally given, is the inspired and infallible Word of God. It is the supreme authority in all matters of belief and behaviour
d. Since the fall, the whole of humankind is sinful and guilty, so that everyone is subject to God’s wrath and condemnation
e. The Lord Jesus Christ, God’s incarnate Son, is fully God; he was born of a virgin; his humanity is real and sinless; he died on the cross, was raised bodily from death and is now reigning over heaven and earth.
f. Sinful human beings are redeemed from the guilt, penalty and power of sin only through the sacrificial death once and for all time of their representative and substitute, Jesus Christ, the only mediator between them and God
g. Those who believe in Christ are pardoned all their sins and accepted in God’s sight only because of the righteousness of Christ credited to them; this justification is God’s act of undeserved mercy, received solely by trust in Him and not by their own efforts.
h. The Holy Spirit alone makes the work of Christ effective to individual sinners, enabling them to turn to God from their sin and to trust in Jesus Christ.
i. The Holy Spirit lives in all those he has regenerated. He makes them increasingly Christlike in character and behaviour and gives them power for their witness in the world.
j. The one holy universal church is the Body of Christ, to which all true believers belong.
k. The Lord Jesus Christ will return in person, to judge everyone, to execute God’s just condemnation on those who have not repented and to receive the redeemed to eternal glory.
