Our Foundational Beliefs
The Canadian Lord's Day Association has, since its inception, stood on a
clear and unwavering foundation.
At the core of our mission lies the Lord's Day, the Christian Sabbath. We believe this day is a divinely appointed ordinance established by God, beginning at the dawn of creation and lasting until the return of the Lord Jesus at the end of time. These beliefs shape our identity and serve as the Scriptural foundation for all our decisions.
Our Basis
Belief in the triune God whose grace is manifested in the love and righteousness of God the Father, the redeeming work of God the Son, and the quickening power of God the Holy Ghost.
Belief in the essential Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, His Incarnation and Virgin Birth, the truthfulness of all His words, His all sufficient atoning vicarious death upon Calvary for sin, His bodily Resurrection, Ascension, and Coming Again.
Belief in the whole Bible consisting of the 39 Books of the Old Testament and the 27 Books of the New Testament as the inspired Word of God, and therefore true and Divinely authoritative and as God’s sufficient revelation in all matters of doctrine and practice. (The Authorized or King James Version of the Bible is employed for all work and activities of the CLDA.)
Belief that all men have sinned and come short of the glory of God: and in the necessity of the New Birth by the Holy Spirit in those who become children of God through faith in Jesus Christ.
Belief in the Divine Authority and perpetual obligation of the Christian Sabbath or Lord’s Day and conviction of the necessity that all effectual assertion, observance and defence of the Lord’s Day rest, must be on this basis
Belief that in asserting the obligation of the Lord’s Day, the Gospel of the grace of God through Jesus Christ should be proclaimed.
