The Apostolic Faith refers to the body of doctrine and teachings handed down by Jesus' apostles, as recorded in the New Testament. This faith is rooted in the conviction that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the Savior of humanity, and the Lord of all creation, as affirmed in passages such as Romans 10:9 and 1 Corinthians 15:3-4. The Apostolic Faith is characterized by a deep trust in God's sovereignty and providence, as expressed in Romans 8:28, which states that "all things work together for good to those who love God." Through this faith, believers are called to follow the example of the apostles, who proclaimed the gospel message with boldness and conviction, as seen in the declaration of Psalms 119:130, which highlights the life-giving power of God's word.
