  • There is one God and He is three distinct and separate persons: The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  |  (John 15:26)

  • God created man holy and without sin.  |  (Genesis 1:31)

  • Man, of his own will, fell into sin and brought sin on the whole human race.  |  (Romans 5:12)

  • Sin is in all people by nature and reveals itself in every transgression of God's holy will by thought, word, and deed.  |  (Mark 7:21,22)

  • The wages of sin is death and damnation in hell, an eternal, agonizing separation from the holy and righteous God.  |  (Romans 6:23)  (Matthew 25:41,46)

  • God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, Jesus Christ, to redeem the world.  |  (John 3:16,17)

  • This glorified fact of Jesus' work is accepted by faith which is worked in the heart by the Holy Spirit through the Word, Baptism, and the Lord's Supper.  |  (Romans 10:17)

  • By faith alone in the atoning work of Christ, we are heirs of the glories of heaven.  |  (John 6:40)
