The Bible
…is the unique, inspired, and
infallible Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16).
Every Person
…is created in the image of God
(Genesis 1:27);
…is loved by God
(1 John 4:9-10);
…sins against God by
disobeying Him
(Romans 3:23).
Sin
…separates man from God,
which brings death (1 John
1:5-10, Romans 6:23);
…can only be forgiven by
means of a perfect sacrifice
(Hebrews 9:22).
God
…sent His only Son Jesus to be
the sacrifice for the sins of all
mankind (John 3:16, Hebrews
9:28).
Jesus Christ
…was born of a virgin (Isaiah 7:14);
…lived a sinless life (2 Corinthians
5:21);
…was fully God and fully man
(John 10:30);
…died as a substitute for man’s
sins on the cross (Romans 5:6);
…was raised from the dead
after three days (1 Corinthians
15:3-4);
…ascended into Heaven (1 Timothy
3:16);
…will return to judge all mankind
(John 5:22-23).
Salvation Is
…wholly a gift from God (Ephesians
2:8-9);
…available to all men (2 Peter
3:9);
…a promise for all who
have faith in Christ (John
3:16);
repent of their sins (2 Corinthians
7:9-11);
confess their faith before
men (Matthew 10:32-33);
are baptized by full immersion
into water (Acts 2:38);
and continue to grow in
faithfulness (Acts 2:42).
Heaven Is
…the place of eternal reward
with God for all who have
believed in and obeyed
Jesus Christ (John 14:17).
Hell Is
…the place of eternal
punishment separate from
God for all who have not
believed in and obeyed
Jesus Christ
(2 Thessalonians
1:8-9).
The Church Is
…made up of all who have
believed in and obeyed
Jesus Christ
(1 Corinthians 12:12- 13);
…the bride of Christ
(2 Corinthians 11:2);
…the body of Christ, of which
He is the Head (Ephesians
1:22-23);
…locally autonomous, under
the care of elders (Acts
20:28);
…commissioned to seek the
lost and to build up the
saved (Ephesians 4:1-16).
