- About Eternity
— Man was created to exist
forever. He will exist eternally separated from
God by sin, or in union with God through
forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated
from God is Hell. To be eternally in union with Him is eternal life.
Heaven and Hell are places of eternal existence.
John 3:16; John 2:25; 1 John 5:11-13; Romans 6:23; Matthew
8:11; Matthew 24:44; Revelation 20:15
- About Jesus Christ
— Jesus Christ is
the Son of God! He is co-equal with the Father.
Jesus lived a sinless life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice
for the sins of all men by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead
after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended
to Heaven’s glory and will return again to earth to reign as
King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.
Matthew 1:22,23; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1-5, 14:10-30; Hebrews 4:14,15;
1 Corinthians 15:3,4; Romans 1:3,4; Acts 1:9-11; 1 Timothy 6:14,15;
Titus 2:13
- About Salvation
— Salvation
is a free gift from God to man. Man can never make up for
his sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting
in Jesus Christ as God’s offer of forgiveness can man be saved from
sin’s penalty. Eternal life begins the moment one receives
Jesus Christ into his life by faith.
Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8,9; John
14:6; Titus 3:5; Galatians 3:26; Romans 5:1
- About the Holy Spirit
— The Holy Spirit is equal
with the Father and the Son of God. He is present in the world to
make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives
in every Christian from the moment of salvation and
comes in power when the believer is baptized in the Holy Spirit.
He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding
of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right.
The Holy Spirit gives spiritual gifts to the Christian for the purpose
of witnessing, building up the body of Christ and for personal edification.
2 Corinthians 3:17; John 16:7-13, 14: 16,17; Acts 1:8;
1 Corinthians 12 and 14; Ephesians 1:13; Galatians 5:25; Ephesians
5:1
  
- About the Bible
— The Bible is God’s word to all men. Human authors,
under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit wrote
it. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs
and living. Because God inspires it, it is truth without any
mixture or error.
2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20,21; 2 Timothy 1:13; Psalm
119:105, 160; Proverbs 30:5
