We are saved by faith, not works. But that doesn’t mean that you don’t have to do anything. We show our faith to others by our works. By works is your faith made manifest: shew [show] me thy faith without thy works and I will shew thee my faith by my works” (James 2:18). We […]

Sin
Sin is any and every thought, word, or action that breaks God’s commandments. Everyone who has ever lived has sinned. (Except for Jesus Christ.) I have sinned, you have sinned, everyone has sinned. And we have a problem, for the penalty for our sin is eternal death in Hell: “For the wages of sin is […]
Repentance
To repent means to be willing to turn from your sins wanting never to do them again. Repentance is a cardinal part of the salvation message. The first thing Jesus preached was “repent ye, and believe the gospel” (Mark 1:15). After he healed people, what did he tell them to do? “Sin no more.” But […]
Salvation is by Faith Alone
Eternal life is a free gift from God. Forgiveness of sins is a free gift from God. There is nothing that you can do to earn it. NO amount of good works can cover even ONE of your sins. Since there is no way you can earn it, God offers it for free. Trusting in […]
Jesus is the Son of God
Jesus Christ was no mere man. He was given the name Immanuel, which means “God with us” in Isaiah 7:14 and Matthew 1:23. Jesus is the Second Person of the Holy Trinity. The Trinity includes God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost. Jesus is God the Son, or the Son of […]
The Resurrection of Christ
Jesus Christ rose from the dead. After He has suffered an agonizing death on the cross, He was buried and on the third day after His death, He arose from the dead. This is not just some fanciful fairy tale. The Bible says that He showed “Himself alive after His passion by MANY INFALLIBLE PROOFS […]
Jesus is the Messiah
Jesus Christ is the Messiah that the Jews have been looking for for several millennia. Most of them rejected Jesus while He was here, but it is not too late for anyone, Jew or Gentile, to accept Him now. Believing that Jesus is the Messiah is not anti-Semitic, because Jesus Himself was a Jew. Jesus declared […]
Jesus is the ONLY Way to Heaven
Jesus Christ is the ONLY way to God: “I am the way, the truth and the life. No man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6). NO ONE gets to God the Father unless he goes through Christ. And if you cannot get to God, He cannot hear your prayers. You can believe […]
Hell is Real
Hell is very real. The Bible describes it as a place of everlasting torment by fire and brimstone. If you die without accepting Christ as your Lord and Saviour, this is where you will spend eternity. Here is a Biblical description of Hell. But you do not have to end up there. And if thy […]
How to Get Saved
Jesus said, “Verily, verily [truly, truly], I say unto you; he that believeth on me hath everlasting life.” John 6:47. If you would like to be saved you must believe on Jesus Christ, and what He said: “If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth […]
Jesus Died for You! He took the punishment for YOUR sins.
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is the Messiah that was promised. He came down from His Heavenly palace to this humble earth, and He came here to die. He came here to die… FOR YOU! Why did He die for me? To understand this, you first have to realize that we all […]
A Biblical Description of Hell
In a day where so many ‘preachers’ either won’t preach on hell or even worse, will say that it does not exist, it is altogether necessary to lay down again the Bible’s teaching on hell and the afterlife of the unsaved. Some may claim that this is using fear tactics to gain converts. Jude tells […]
