A Few Simple Truths
People
often ask, “What does the church believe on this or that point?” In many
cases this can be a difficult question to answer, for one finds a great
variety of ideas among Christians. Even in New Testament times Christians
held different views in some areas. So how is one to answer when faced with
such a Question?
There is no
absolute, authoritative guide except the Bible. As Christians we must turn
to the word of God when seeking answers to spiritual questions. While we
may not agree on every matter of opinion, when we follow the Bible we will
know how to answer. Here are a few simple truths found in the Bible.
God is
alive and He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him (Hebrew 11:6).
Because God is, we may seek Him. Because He rewards, we want to seek Him.
Without such confidence Christianity would be worthless and all human effort
without hope or direction.
God, who
exist and rewards, also loves us (John 3:16; 1 John 4:16). We believe that
God loves us, because of what He has done in His Son Jesus Christ. God is
for us, and He wishes us to respond to Him in with confidence.
Jesus is
“in” the Father and the Father is “in” Jesus (John 14:11). All we need to
know of the Father we may see in Jesus Christ. When we look at Jesus we
always see the nature of God the Father in human flesh. What Jesus Did for
sinners is the express will and purpose of the Father.
If we have
died with Christ we shall also live with Him (Romans 6:8). This is our
great hope of the future! We must all die to sin and be raised again to
live for God. Only then do we have the assurance of life eternal.
Love,
