GOD IS THE BEGINNING AND ENDING
“I Am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.” Revelation 1:8
SIN SEPARATES US FROM GOD
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. Whom God hath set forth to be the propitiation through faith in His blood, to declare His righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say at this time His righteousness: that He might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.” Romans 3:23-26
GOD HAS A PLAN OF SALVATION FOR MAN
“And this is the record that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in His son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.”
I John 5:11-12
WE ARE TO BE OBEDIENT TO THE PLAN OF SALVATION, OTHERWISE WE WILL BE SEPARATED FROM GOD
“In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of His power; When He shall come to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.” II Thessalonians 1:8-10
WE ARE TO BE BAPTIZED FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS
“Then Peter said unto them. Repent, and be baptized everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” Acts 2:38
LOVE WILL LEAD TO OBEDIENCE
“If ye love Me, keep My commandments.” John 14:15
When we humble ourselves in obedience to Him and are immersed in baptism, it is then we can walk away rejoicing that all of our sins have been washed away.
“And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.” Acts 8:39
WE ARE TO REMAIN FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH
“Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.” Revelation 2:10
TEACH OTHERS
“And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.”
II Timothy 2:2
“Verily, verily I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.” John 10:1-2
