A red cross surrounded by quotations from the Bible.

English Translation

Right: For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Seal: John 3:16

Left side: Jesus said, the most important is this, ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength’. The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
Seal: Mark 12:30

Underneath the cross: As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.

In the box: When the time had fully come, God sent his Son. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. God called us to a holy life–not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus. Being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death–even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen.

右侧:上帝爱世人甚至将他的独生子赐给他们的一切信他的不至灭亡反得永生
印章:约翰三章十六节

左侧:耶稣说第一你要尽心尽性尽力尽意爱主你的上帝 其次就是说要爱人如己
印章:马可十二章三十节

十字架下方:我和我家都要侍奉主

底端方框:时候满足上帝就差遣他的儿子 上帝差他独生子到世间来使我们藉着他得生上帝爱我们的心在此就显明了 上帝救了我们以圣名召我们不是按我们自己的行为乃是按他的旨意和恩典是万古之先在基督耶稣里赐给我们的但如今藉着我们救主基督耶稣的显现才表明出来了 他既有人的样子就自己卑微存心顺服以至于死且死在十字架上所以神将他升为至高,又赐给他那超乎万名之上的名叫一切在天上的地上的和地底下的因耶稣的名无不屈膝无不口称耶稣基督为主使荣耀归与父神。 基督耶稣降世为要拯救罪人这话是可信的是十分可佩服的 除他以外别无拯救因为在天下人间没有赐下别的名我们可以靠着得救 凡属基督耶稣的人是已经把肉体连肉体的邪情私欲同钉在十字架上了 若有人在基督里他就是新造的人旧事已过都变成新的了 认识你独一的真神并且认识你所差来的耶稣基督这就是永生 因为万有都是本于他倚靠他归于他愿荣耀归给他直到永远阿们
