• Welcome to Marion Bible Fellowship

As you navigate through the pages of marionbible.com, I hope you are inspired to consider the importance of faith. You will find learning resources and information that can help you understand what the Christian faith is all about.

God's Plan of salvation At Marion Bible Fellowship, we love to teach the Bible and God's commandments to all who will listen. But words of wisdom and accurate living by God's commandments are not our primary goal. Our message is primarily about Jesus (Yeshua). Knowing Him - giving your life for Him to lead - is first and foremost. If we learn every commandment and live from this point on in perfect obedience to all the Father asks, we would still be marked by sin because of our past behavior and disobedience.

As well, to even be able to approach a perfectly holy God, we need to have all our sins completely take away by someone who has not sinned, Himself. So, if we want to please God with our obedience from this point on, we must FIRST come to Jesus for cleansing and forgiveness. Not receiving and believing in Jesus as savior first and trusting and working on our own goodness as if it will earn our way into heaven is CONTRARY to the entirety of Scripture.

What about you? Do you know for sure your sins are covered? Are you 100% SURE you would go to heaven if you were to die today? Uncertainty is lethal, and there IS a way to be perfectly sure. Before speeding time on our site to learn more about the church, a trip or anything else, please take time to understand God's plan of salvation for you…

Our Beliefs

Beliefs guide actions and define who we are. You will discover several documents below that will help you understand what we believe at Marion Bible Fellowship. Statements, such as those found on this page, are vitally important for Christian groups. However, a "belief" is just a statement unless it guides action in a believer's life. At Marion Bible Fellowship, we pray our beliefs guide our actions on a daily basis.

• Statement of Faith (adopted in 2008)

In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we mere men attempt to establish the Marion Bible Fellowship. We believe that Jesus Christ is the Lord and Shepherd of this church and of our lives. As fallible individuals, we establish this Statement with the full knowledge that our conclusions are subject to confirmation by comparing them to God's written Word (Heb. 4:12) His Bible is perfect and we are only correct insofar as our statements agree with those found in His written Word (Psalm 19:7‐8). We therefore submit the following as a reflection of how the Scriptures speak to us.

The Bible is Infallible We believe that the Hebrew Scriptures ("Old Testament") and Writings of the Apostles ("New Testament) compose the whole Bible (Deut 29:29, 2Tim. 3:16). Together they are the divinely inspired Word of God (2Pet. 1:21). To properly interpret the meaning of the Bible, we must remember that it has a Jewish origin and was written by Jews. This is especially true when reading the Writings of the Apostles (Matt. 5:17‐20). Mankind We believe all humans are born with a sinful nature and are separated from God because they have broken His Commandments (Rom. 3:23). All are in need of restoration (Gal 3:22). Our relationship with God can only be restored through faith in a blood sacrifice as commanded by God and not by making up for wrongs committed by doing righteous acts (Rom. 9:30‐33, 10:4). The system of sacrifices in the Hebrew Scriptures were means of illustrating what Jesus Christ would eventually come and do to save mankind from the penalty of sin, that is, death, and grant eternal life to all who put their faith in Him (Rom 3:24).

Sermons/Worship Guides

Worship is important to us at Marion Bible Fellowship. There has been a lot of discussion in the Christian world recently about worship styles. Some say traditional worship is best, while others say modern worship is preferable. At Marion Bible you will find worship that brings depth to your time with God. Hymns, contemporary songs, and prayers are carefully considered to determine if they promote a correct understanding of Scripture and proper attitude within believers. When you visit MBF, come prepared for authentic and meaningful Christian worship.
