Six Certainties Of Christian Faith

1. There is one God, Creator of all things.
   
   
2. The Bible is the inspired written Word of God, sufficient to guide all human action.
   
   
3. Jesus Christ is the only-begotten Son of God.
   
   The words "only-begotten" mean "only-fathered," that is, Jesus is the only human ever directly physically fathered by God.
   
   
4. Jesus was crucified, dead and buried, then rose from the dead, by the power of God, and lives today in Heaven and in the hearts of those who believe in Him.
   
   
5. If we believe in Him, we will not perish, 
   but will have eternal life, forever with Him.
   
               "For God so loved the world, that he gave his
                only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth 
                in him should not perish, but have everlasting
                life." (John 3:16 KJV)
   
   
   "Believing in Him" means: that we accept the fact that He is Son of God, risen from the dead; that we accept Him as our own personal Lord; that we try to follow His commandments as best we know how; that we are always willing to declare our faith in Him, openly and without hesitation. This fifth certainty leads easily into "The Gospel Of Jesus Christ, Simplified," which is . . .
   
   "You give yourself totally to Him, and He takes good care of you forever."
   
   
   
6. The most important thing He wants us to do is to love!
   To love God first of all, then to love all other people the same as we love ourselves, using His love for us as our example. We do this best by following the Golden Rule, which summarizes and encompasses all of God's Law for mankind. Jesus said that the Golden Rule IS "the law and the prophets."

               "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should
               do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and
               the prophets."  (Matthew 7:12 KJV)
