Salvation from sin through faith in Jesus Christ
WE BELIEVE IN THE TRUE LOVE OF GOD THAT WAS MADE MANIFEST WHEN WHILE WE WERE SINNERS, HE LAID DOWN HIS LIFE FOR US AND NOW WE OUGHT TO LAY DOWN OUR LIVES FOR THE BRETHREN. "This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.Greater love hath no man than this,
that a man lay down his life for his friends. -John 15:12-13"
WE BELIEVE
THAT IN ORDER TO OBTAIN SALVATION AND ETERNAL LIFE ONE MUST REPENT AND TURN AWAY FROM SINS, BELIEVE THIS GOSPEL OF CHRIST AND HIM CRUCIFIED, BE BAPTIZED AND BORN AGAIN OF CHRISTS' SPIRIT; ONE MUST LABOUR THROUGH THE CROSS TO WORK THE WONDERFUL WORKS OF GOD IN RIGHTEOUSNESS AND TRUE HOLINESS
"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. Acts 2:38-39"
There are so many different religions, churches, faiths, and denominations in the world today that it has become increasingly confusing and almost impossible to know which one is the true Church of God. Yet by using the Word of God as our guide, we can universally define what true religion is, what it does, and how important it is for you to be a part of true religion by faith in Jesus Christ. Biblical prophecy predicted that in the last days, many false prophets and many false religions would arise to confuse and deceive many. "And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. - Matt. 24:11"
With the recent scandalous disclosures of Catholic pe*****le priests, adulterous Baptist preachers, incestuous, and homosexual Methodist ministers, it cannot be assumed that all religions serve the same God, and what's more important since what you believe is going to determine where you spend eternity, you should seriously take a long, hard look to see if what you believe is true religion. "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my
Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew
you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. - Matt 7:21-23"
Unfortunately not everyone is going to heaven, in fact millions upon millions of people are on their way to hell right now because they are on the wrong road; they are one of the many wrong roads of false religion because of tradition or prominent social status. They are on roads where the word of God is compromised in order to comfortably suit their lifestyle and selfish lusts, yet those roads lead to destruction and eternal perdition. "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be
which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it
- Matt 7:13-14"
THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO GOD
Catholicism is not the way, Judaism is not the way, Humanism is not the way, man-made denominations are not the way; the scriptures teach us that there is only one faith, there is only one road, there is only one way to eternal life and that way is through:
"Jesus Christ." "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. - John 14:6"
Jesus is Christ; Gods'one true plan for the salvation and deliverance of mankind from the power of sin and death. Jesus came into the world as Messiah and Savior to not only save us from our sins but to give us power and grace to live a life free from sin. "And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
- Matt 1:21"
In true religion the grace of God is Gods'gift to live holy and to work righteousness; false religion uses the grace of God as a convenient excuse to remain in sin; in true religion there is no such thing as a 'sinner saved by grace' but Gods' grace is properly used when one is empowered by God to live a life completely free from all sin. "For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; -Titus 2:11-12"
The Litmus test to determine if your religion is true or false is very simple; does what you believe give you power to live unspotted from the lusts of the world and free from all sin ; does your religion have the power and the ability to control your speech?, or to control your natural desires?, does it have power to control your lusts and cause you not to sin against your neighbor? "If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. - James 1:26-27"
This is the true test; it is not so important what your religion says, but it is more important what your religion does; true religion has power to do the will of God and work righteousness. If your religion has no power to bring about a change in your life, if it has no power to transform you from a sinner into someone who cannot sin; from a son of the devil into a son of God, then what you believe or preach is meaningless. "Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. But wilt thou know, 0 vain man, that faith without works is dead?"
