Sin and Salvation
Everyone has sinned and needs salvation. This salvation comes by grace, through faith, based on atonement for sin provided by the death of Jesus Christ on the cross.
(Romans 3:23-25; 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9).
(Romans 3:23-25; 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9).
THE GOSPEL
The saving gospel is the good news that Jesus Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again. The Bible teaches that, in order to be saved, one must obey the gospel (2 Thessalonians 1:8; 1 Peter 4:17). We do this by repenting of our sin (death to sin), being baptized in water in the name of Jesus Christ (burial), and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit (resurrection)
(1 Corinthians 15: 1-4; Acts 2:4; 37-39; Romans 6:3-4).
(1 Corinthians 15: 1-4; Acts 2:4; 37-39; Romans 6:3-4).
Christian Living
As Christians, we are to love God and others. We should live a holy life inwardly and outwardly, and worship God joyfully. The supernatural gifts of the Spirit, including healing, are for the church today.
(Mark 12:28-31; 2 Corinthians 7:1; Hebrews 12:14; 1 Corinthians 12: 8-10).
(Mark 12:28-31; 2 Corinthians 7:1; Hebrews 12:14; 1 Corinthians 12: 8-10).
The Future
Jesus Christ is coming again to catch away His church. The righteous will inherit eternal life, and the unrighteous eternal punishment.
(1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; Revelation 20:11 15).
(1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; Revelation 20:11 15).
