The
name Seventh-day Adventist includes two vital beliefs for us as
a Church. 'Adventist' reflects our passionate conviction in the
nearness of the soon return ('advent') of Jesus. 'Seventh-day' refers
to the Biblical Sabbath which from Creation on has always been on
the seventh day of the week, or Saturday.
The
Lines
at the top of the design suggest a continued upward momentum symbolizing
the resurrection and ascension to heaven at Christ's Second coming.
The ultimate focus of our faith.
The
Open Bible forms the base of the design and represents the Biblical
foundation of our beliefs. It is portrayed in a fully opened position
suggesting a full acceptance of God's word.
The
Flame is the shape formed by three lines encircling an implied
sphere. The lines represent the three angles of Revelation 14 circling
the globe and our commission to take the gospel to the entire world.
The overall shape forms a flame symbolic of the Holy Spirit.
The
Cross is a symbol, representing the gospel of salvation, is
positioned in the center of the design to emphasize Christ's sacrifice,
which is the central theme of our faith.
