Humanity bears the image of God; creation is good, relational and finite; and God acts through covenant for the blessing of all peoples.

The covenant must be chosen household by household. God looks at the heart, and power is accountable to God's word.

The human is dignified yet finite. Wisdom begins in reverence and trust rather than self-sufficiency, and understanding has limits to be accepted.

Worship is empty without justice for the oppressed. Redemption comes through a suffering servant, and God promises an interior, given new heart.

What God requires is justice, mercy and humility. God's mercy is wide enough to reach the outsider, and the righteous live by faith.

The kingdom belongs to the lowly. Love of God and neighbour sums the whole Law, and that love extends to enemies, the least and the lost.

The Word became flesh. God's love is the free origin of salvation, and the command is to love one another even to the point of self-giving.

The church as a communion of shared life, where love takes economic form and goods are shared so that no one is in need.

All have sinned, and salvation is grace received rather than achievement. Christ's self-emptying is the pattern of love, and in Christ all are one.

Faith is trust in the unseen, proved by works. True religion is care for the vulnerable; God is love, and love of God is inseparable from love of neighbour.

History culminates in a renewed creation free of suffering and death.

The resurrection as the hinge of the faith and the ground of hope; God lifting up the lowly; and life set before the human as a present choice.

Covenant law grounded in prior liberation: exclusive worship, egalitarian Sabbath rest, the inviolability of person and family, and a law reaching desire.

The kingdom inverts the order of value. Love of enemy is the height of the law, and neighbour is defined by mercy in deed, not by category.

Without love, all spiritual achievement is nullified. Love has a definable character — patient, kind, not score-keeping — and it alone is permanent.

Worship as embodied and interior; non-retaliation and overcoming evil with good; freedom for love-service; and humility that counts others better.

One God loved with the whole person, holiness taking the form of horizontal justice, and a God who desires a contrite heart rather than sacrifice.

The human created in God's image and incorruptible; wisdom as divine self-expression; and honour of parents extended to care for the aged.

Almsgiving bound to the giver's own salvation, the negative Golden Rule stated outright, and faithful witness under coercion.
