ABOUT US & STATEMENT OF FAITH
OUR VISION
Royal Resources Online is a non-denominational Christian organisation founded in 2009 by Dr Paul Ely, a plant scientist specialising in seed germination, whom God has called to be a planter of heavenly seed in people’s lives.
Royal Resources Online was born out of a call from God in 2005 to provide a focal point of Christian resource material to equip His people worldwide for works of service, especially those Christians who are ‘dying on the vine’ from lack of heavenly food with the innate ability to bring heaven down to earth, and also to fulfil a vision of reaching all people worldwide - the lost, the hurting, the despairing and hopeless, the sick and the dying – with the truth of God’s word that will set them free from their bondage to sin and sickness and poverty of body, mind and spirit.
Our aim is that through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit, all people will be able to know God as their Father and live in all the benefits that he provides for his children. Our aim is that all people will know that their true enemy is the devil, in whom there is no truth, and that their true friend is God the Father, in whom is all authority, power, love and truth.
STATEMENT OF FAITH - WHAT WE BELIEVE
| 1. We believe that The Bible, both Old and New Testaments, is the inspired written Word of God, was given under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and is infallible in content and fully trustworthy. We believe The Bible is the supreme authority for the Christian in all matters of faith and conduct: 2 Samuel 22:31; Proverbs 30:5; Romans 10:17; Hebrews 4:12; 2 Timothy 3:16 |
|
2. We believe there is one living and true God existing in three persons as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, who is infinitely perfect and eternal in existence: Genesis 1:1-2; Matthew 28:19; John 1:1-18 We believe in the sovereignty of God who is the creator and the sustainer of all things and who rules over his creation with justice and judgement: Samuel 7:22; Daniel 5:21; Hebrews 1:3; Jude 1:4 |
| 3. We believe that God is love, and out of His love for mankind is the author of eternal redemption/salvation by His grace through our faith in His Son Jesus Christ: John 3:17-18; Ephesians 2:8; 1 John 4:9-10 |
|
4. We believe the Lord Jesus Christ is the only and all sufficient Saviour: John 3:16; Romans 10:9; 2 Timothy 1:10 We believe the Lord Jesus Christ to be God manifest in flesh as the only Son of God, being both true God and true man yet without sin. We believe that God the Father is the Creator of all things through Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit, and that Jesus Christ is the appointed judge of all mankind: Matthew 1:21; John 1:1-18; Acts 10:42 |
| 5. We believe in the virgin birth of Jesus Christ, His death on behalf of lost humanity, His burial, His bodily resurrection, His ascension on high, His reigning over heaven and earth, His ministry of intercession as High Priest in heaven and His imminent physical return to earth to call the righteous saved, both living and dead, to receive their inheritance, and His final eternal judgement of the wicked: Matthew 1:18-25; Mark 16:19; 2 Timothy 4:1; Hebrews 4:14-16; Hebrews 4:14-16 |
| 6. We believe in the Person of the Holy Spirit who leads us to repentance, unites us with Christ to Father God through new birth and changes us into the likeness of Christ in thought word and deed to empower our discipleship of others and our witness to those who are lost:John 3:6-8: John 16:5-15; Acts 1:6-8 |
| 7. We believe that as Jesus Christ died on the cross in our place, His shed blood paid the price of sin once and for all and defeated the evil one (The devil). We believe that His resurrection provides the only basis for justification before God and for receiving salvation from the consequences of sin, by grace through faith in God. We believe that justification before God is by the grace of God alone through faith alone because of Jesus Christ alone and that only those who believe in Jesus Christ and receive Him are born of the Holy Spirit become the children of God and are reconciled with His through His forgiveness of their sin: John 1:12-13; Romans 3:21-26 |
| 8. We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit, subsequent to the New Birth; with the Biblical evidence of accompanying spiritual gifts and fruit of the Holy Spirit: Mark 1:8; Mark 16:15-18; 1 Corinthians 12:1-31; Galatians 5:22-23 |
| 9. We believe that Jesus Christ is the Head of the Church which consists of all who have repented of their sin, been born again, and confessed Christ as Lord and Saviour in water baptism: Mark 16:15-16; Romans 10:9-10; Ephesians 5:23; Colossians 1:18 |
| 10. We believe that the greatest commandments for everyday Christian living are to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind, strength and to love others as we love ourselves: Matthew 22:36-40; Mark 12:29-31 |
| 11. We believe that God’s gift of salvation is for the whole man: He saves our spirit from hell and causes our soul to prosper. As a result we are able to prosper in all we do and live in divine health. We believe that divine healing can be imparted to a sick person by the laying on of hands, the anointing with oil, the use of prayer cloths or by faith alone. Mark 16:15-18; Luke 4:40; Acts 19:11-12; James 5:14-15; 3 John 1:2 |
| 12. We believe in the physical, personal and imminent return of our Lord Jesus Christ in accordance with all the events declared in The Bible that will happen before the end of the world as we know it: Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; Titus 2:12-14; Revelation 22:7-20 |
| 13. We believe that God has called the fivefold biblical ministries of Apostles, Pastors, Prophets, Evangelists and Teachers to be functioning properly within the Church so the body of Christ may be built up and be effective in the world: Ephesians 4:11-13 |
| 14. We believe in the resurrection of the dead, the everlasting reward and blessing of the saved, and the everlasting punishment of the lost. Matthew 25:31-46; 1 Corinthians 15:19-54; 1 Thessalonians 4:14-18 |
