Believing & Confessing
The Power of Faith
"And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him." Hebrews 11:6
​
"For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16
​
Romans 10:9, "If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."
Repenting & Baptism
Faith in Action
Acts 2:38, "Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit."
​
Repenting is choosing to trust God's way for salvation over any other personal way.
​
Baptism is the washing of rebirth and the renewal by the Holy Spirit. It is the time and place that God gives us the forgiveness of our sins and the gift of the Holy Spirit who lives within us.
"This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!" 2 Corinthians 5:17
Living in God's Family
Abiding
Abiding means to remain; continue; stay. In a tempting and evil world it is vital that we live our faith out loud.
John 15:4, "Remain in me, and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in me."
​
Romans 12:2, "Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect."
