Our Statement of Faith

At Makers of Care, we hold fast to the following statement of faith, which forms the bedrock of our beliefs and practices:

• Belief in the Holy Trinity (Matthew 28:19)

• Belief in the Deity of Jesus Christ (John 1:1, 14)

• We recognize the importance of prayer in seeking God’s guidance, wisdom, and strength in all that we do.

WHAT WE BELIEVE about Suffering with HOPE

As Christians, we embrace the truth that suffering is a profound and often challenging aspect of our faith journey. Our statement of faith on suffering reflects our beliefs and convictions regarding this important topic:

• Suffering in a Broken World: We acknowledge that suffering is a consequence of living in a fallen world, marred by sin and brokenness. It affects every individual, regardless of their beliefs, as part of the human condition.
• The Suffering of Christ: We believe that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, fully entered into human suffering during His earthly ministry. He experienced pain, rejection, and crucifixion, identifying with our suffering and offering hope for redemption.
• Suffering as a Test of Faith: We recognize that suffering can test our faith and challenge our understanding of God’s love and sovereignty. In the midst of pain, we may question, but we hold onto the assurance that God is with us in our suffering.
• Suffering and Compassion: We understand that suffering can cultivate empathy and compassion in our hearts. We are called to reach out to those who are suffering, extending love and support in the name of Christ.
• Suffering as a Means of Spiritual Growth: We believe that suffering can be a means of refining and maturing our faith. Through trials, we learn to depend on God, develop perseverance, and grow in our spiritual walk.
• Suffering and Hope: We hold firmly to the hope that suffering is not the end of the story. In the resurrection of Jesus Christ, we find the ultimate assurance that suffering will be ultimately overcome, and God will wipe away every tear from our eyes.
• Suffering and Redemption: We trust that God can use suffering for His redemptive purposes. Even in the midst of pain, He can bring about transformation, healing, and reconciliation.
• Suffering and Prayer: We believe in the power of prayer to seek God’s guidance, comfort, and strength during times of suffering. We are encouraged to cast our cares upon Him, knowing that He cares for us.
• Suffering and Solidarity: We affirm our commitment to stand in solidarity with those who suffer, recognizing that Jesus calls us to love our neighbors and care for the afflicted.
• Suffering and Eternal Glory: We hold the promise that, in the presence of God, our suffering will be replaced by eternal joy, where there will be no more pain, sorrow, or tears.

In times of suffering, we, as Christians, cling to our faith in Jesus Christ, who bore our sorrows and offers the ultimate hope. Through Him, we find strength, purpose, and meaning in the midst of life’s trials.
