Salvation

The Bible says God is alive. He has always existed. He is the Designer and Creator of the universe. No one equals Him in power, authority, or knowledge. He is a Person, and cares about the people He has made. He is holy and always does what is just and right. He loves each one of us, and rightly expects us to obey Him lovingly.

Jesus Christ is God. He has always existed, but became man by miraculous birth, and lived on earth to show us what God is like. He healed the sick and handicapped. He comforted those who were sad, fed the hungry, brought dead people back to life, and rebuked hypocrisy and greed.

Jesus died for all people. He voluntarily accepted the punishment for sin that we deserve for disobeying God and failing to honor Him. Three days after His death, Jesus lived again! Many witnesses saw and talked to Him. Six weeks later He went back to heaven where He lives today as Lord and Savior.

We can be forgiven of all our wrong, and instead of experiencing God's punishment, live joyfully with Him forever. We must sincerely admit that we have sinned and dishonored God, and place our entire confidence in Jesus Christ as the One who laid down His life for us.

Those who commit themselves to Jesus Christ become members of God's family. We are motivated to live clean and honest lives by an appreciation of Christ's love for us. The Holy Spirit directs us and gives us the ability to live this new kind of life.

Jesus Christ is coming back again for His followers. Ultimately, all men will be raised from death. Depending on their response to Christ in his life, people will either experience eternal separation from God in Hell or have eternal life.

Key Scriptures

  • John 3:16
    For God so loved the world of sinners that He gave, as a sacrifice for its sins, His only begotten Son, who is very God and very man; that whoever believes in Him should not perish (in hell) but have everlasting life, God's life, by the Holy Spirit the moment he believes.

  • 1 Corinthians 15:3,4
    Briefly, the "good news" is that Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, that He was buried, and that on the third day He arose from the dead according to the scriptures. The scriptures are what men wrote, as led by the Holy Spirit, and what is contained in what is called the New Testament and the Old Testament.

  • John 5:28,29
    The hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice and come forth, those who have done good, (because the Holy Spirit in them empowers them to do good works) to the resurrection of life and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.

  • Acts 11:26 & 1 Corinthians 1:12,13
    Believers were first called Christians in Antioch because they were continually speaking of Christ. The most common name for Christians is brethren because they were born of the Holy Spirit into the God's family. Also the name believers is used twice in the New Testament. Otherwise, we are warned against taking any other name.

  • Ephesians 1:22,23 & Ephesians 2:20,21
    Jesus Christ, and He alone, is the head over all things to His church, and the church, that is all believers, is His body. There is the local church, such as this church in Ephesus, and there is the church universal made of all believers from Pentecost until now, living and dead.

  • 1 Timothy 3:1-13
    Some brethren in the local church have leadership qualifications and are called in the Bible overseers or elders or shepherds. The overseers are those who teach, guide, visit in homes, guard the believers from false teachers, and lead by example. Other brethren called deacons, also must have qualifications to care for the building, the disbursement of funds, and the physical needs of the believers.

  • Acts 2:38-42
    There are two ordinances: baptism and the Lord's supper or the breaking of bread. Both are only for believers. Baptism pictures the believer's death, burial and resurrection with Jesus Christ. Romans 6:2-4. When the brethren gather together as a local church, they should continue steadfastly in the apostle's doctrine as recorded in the New Testament and in fellowship and in breaking of bread and in prayers.

  • Revelation 19 and 20
    After His coming for the church, He will judge the works of every believer to see if there were done in the power of the Holy Spirit and for God's glory. Believers will be rewarded according to the quality of their works. Afterwards, there will be the marriage of Jesus Christ to His bride, the church. Later He will return to the earth as "King of kings and Lord of lords" to deliver His people, the Jews, from the armies of the Beast and the False Prophet about to take Jerusalem, slaying the enemy soldiers and capturing the Beast and the False Prophet and casting them alive into the Lake of Fire. Jesus Christ then establishes the Kingdom of God on earth and rules for 1,000 years. At the end of this time, Satan who has been imprisoned during these 1000 years will be released and immediately leads the unbelievers born during this period in rebellion against Christ and the holy city, Jerusalem. Fire from heaven will consume the rebels and Satan will be cast alive into the Lake of Fire. Then, at the Great White Throne, Jesus Christ will judge all unbelievers by the things recorded about them in His books. All will see the justice of God in casting them into hell or the Lake of Fire forever and forever.

  • 2 Peter 3:9
    God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
