Since God, by His grace, has brought us into fellowship with Himself through Jesus Christ our Savior from sin, and into fellowship with each other through faith in Him, we acknowledge His Lordship over us.
Therefore, we enter into covenant with our God and each other as the Living Word Seventh Day Baptist Fellowship of Lincoln, Nebraska, solemnly agreeing to live according to the fellowship covenant.
We covenant and agree that we will live by faith in Jesus Christ in fellowship with each other in His church.
That we will take the Bible, God’s Word, to be our final authority in matters of faith and life and will strive to pattern our lives on its precepts, endeavoring, through His Spirit, to keep the commandments of God.
That we will each look out for the other’s interests and serve each other in Christian love as any has need.
That we will observe God’s Holy Sabbath out of love for God, in worship, in study and in service, attending the services of the church as we are able.
That we will seek divine aide to enable us to turn away from all harmful and evil practices, trying by word and deed to represent our Lord Jesus Christ and His love in all our personal relationships.
