God is FaithfulDios es fiel

하나님은신실하시다Loving us still, God makes us heirs with Christ of the covenant.Like a mother who will not forsake her nursing child,like a father who runs to welcome the prodigal home, God is faithful still. —“A Brief Statement of Faith”*

Amándonos aún, Dios nos hace, con Cristo, herederos del pacto.Como madre resuelta a no abandonar a su niño de pecho,como padre que corre a dar al pródigo la bienvenida al hogar, Diossigueaúnsiendofiel. —“Una Breve Declaración de Fe”*

지금도 우리를 사랑하셔서 하나님은 그리스도와 더불어 우리를 언약의 상속자로 삼으신다.마치 젖먹이를 물리치지 않은 어머니처럼,집으로 돌아오는 탕자를 맞으러 달려가는 아버지처럼 하나님은 여전히 신실하시다 —“간추린 신앙고백”*
