GOD
There is only one God

MAN
I am, along with all humanity (Christ excluded), by birth and action a sinner.

Jesus Christ died on the cross as the substitutionary atonement to pay the penalty for sin.

Jesus Christ physically ascended into heaven and will one day physically return.

SALVATION

Matthew 25:31-46; Matthew 4:17; Mark 1:15; John 5:28-29; Acts 24:15; Acts 2:38
Only by trusting in the person and work of Jesus Christ alone can I be reconciled to God and experience true life and joy.
