“For we who have believed enter the rest, in keeping with what he has said, So I swore in my anger, “They will not enter my rest,” even though his works have been finished since the foundation of the world.” Hebrews 4:3

Twelve-step recovery stands on the truth of life change generated by the work of God. 

Moses was faithful in service by appointment; Jesus was faithful in service because he is God; 

Goodness—perfect benevolence if you will—is offered in Hebrews 2 as the man Jesus suffered for the transformation of his creation. He gave it all, out of his perfect love.  

Hebrews 2:1 (CSB)  

For this reason, we must pay attention all the more to what we have heard, so that we will not drift away.  

Jesus Christ is the one and only, true, higher power at Celebrate Recovery, and the author of Hebrews fortifies his status as God with the power to help us recover

A willingness to make change is the seed to new growth and a new way of life. Action reflects the willingness of the heart; action displays trust in the words of truth.

Hebrews 1:1–2 (CSB)  

Long ago God spoke to our ancestors by the prophets at different times and in different ways. In these last days, he has spoken to us by his Son. God has appointed him heir of all things and made the universe through him.  

Matthew 5:3

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for the kingdom of heaven is theirs.”

Principle 2: “Earnestly believe that God exists…and that he (God) has the power to help me recover.”
