CalvarySeekers Covenant “And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:13 As a seeker of Christ, who paid the ultimate price on Calvary, I am called to break away from trite, nonchalant, laissez-faire Christian living. I accept the challenge to divine daring, to consecrated recklessness for Christ, to devout adventure in the face of ridiculing contemporaries. I acknowledge I am created in the image of God and am committed to excellence as a disciple of Jesus Christ. I will seek to be a person of integrity “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." 2 Timothy 2:15 My attitudes and actions reveal my commitment to live the kind of life Christ modeled for me-to speak the truth in love, to stand firm in my convictions, to be honest an trustworthy. I will seek to pursue consistent spiritual growth “As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. Colossians 2:6, 7 The Christian life is a continuing journey, and I am committed to a consistent, personal relationship with Jesus Christ, to faithful study of God’s Word, and to regular corporate spiritual growth through the ministry of the New Testament Church. I will seek to speak and live a relevant, authentic, and consistent witness “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:”1 Peter 3:15 I will tell others of how Jesus changed my life, and I will seek to live a radically changed life each day. I will share toe good news of Jesus Christ with courage and boldness. I will seek opportunities to serve in Christ name “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.” Luke 4:18, 19 I believe that God desires to draw all people into a loving, redeeming relationship with Christ. As His disciple, I will give myself to be His hands to reach others in ministry and mission. I will seek to be godly in all things, Christlike in all relationships “Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. And above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfectness.” Colossians 3:12-14 In every relationship and in every situation, I will seek to live as Christ would. I will work to heal brokenness, to value each person as a child of God, to avoid petty quarrels and harsh words, to let go of bitterness and resentment that hinder genuine Christian love.
