Applying “The Truth” to our Lives

1 John 1:5-10 And this is the message which we have heard from Him and announce to you, “God is light, and darkness is not in Him. If perhaps we should say, “We have fellowship with Him.”, and walk in the darkness, we lie and do not do the truth. However, if perhaps we should walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another of the same kind, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. If perhaps we should say that we have no sin, we cause ourselves to wander and the truth is not in us.  If perhaps we should confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous in order that He should forgive our sins and should cleans us from all unrighteousness. If perhaps we say, “We are in a state of having never sinned.”, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us.

The desire to produce sin is a constant struggle in the life of every believer. We all face those temptations that are just so hard to resist. We may struggle with these desires, and sometimes even put up a good fight, but ultimately we given in and get entangled with things that we know God does not wants us to be involved with in our lives. This often leads to a life of shame before God. We promise we will not do it again only to end up back on our knees for the same problem.

However, the Christian life does not need to be a life of shame and failure. to have victory over these desires, we need to understand where they come from […]

Salvation

The Gospel Message: Salvation according to the Scriptures

  1. We have all sinned (Romans 3:23; Romans 5:12-21).
  2. The penalty for sin is spiritual and physical death, resulting in eternal separation from God (Romans 5:12-21; 6:23).
  3. Christ died for our sins (Romans 5:8; 1 Corinthians 15:3; 1 Peter 3:18).
  4. Christ was raised as proof that all who believe are justified before God (Romans 4:25; Galatians 1:1; Ephesians 1:20).
  5. Salvation is by Grace – God’s attitude whereby He gives you a benefit without consideration of merit. Therefore, salvation cannot be earned. It is only gained by faith (taking God at His Word, Hebrews 11:1). (Ephesians 2:8-9).
  6. What is required for Salvation?
    • The Bible teaches that we believe that Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day according to the Scriptures to be saved (1 Corinthians 15:3, 4).
    • God provides you with the faith to believe (Philippians 1:29; 1 Corinthians 3:5), so it is in no way a work by you – Salvation is by Grace.
    • Direct this faith at Christ by believing that He died for your sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day according to the Scriptures and you will be saved.

What is Next? – The Christian Life

  • Be immersed (baptized) into water for a testimony of your association with Christ’s death and resurrection (Matthew 28:19; Titus 3:5 – Water baptism is not for salvation).
  • Participate regularly in Christian fellowship (Hebrews 10:24, 25).
  • Grow in grace and the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (2 Peter 3:18).
