Steps to Christ Today

I BELIEVE THESE....

As A Christian, we should believe these 28 fundamental beliefs. I will list them now. I believe them. My question to you, DO YOU?

1. In the Bible as God's inspired word, as the full, the sufficient, and the only rule of faith and practice.

2 Timothy 3:15-17
[15]And how from your childhood you have had a knowledge of and been acquainted with the sacred Writings, which are able to instruct you and give you the understanding for salvation which comes through faith in Christ Jesus [through the leaning of the entire human personality on God in Christ Jesus in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness].
[16]Every Scripture is God-breathed (given by His inspiration) and profitable for instruction, for reproof and conviction of sin, for correction of error and discipline in obedience, [and] for training in righteousness (in holy living, in conformity to God's will in thought, purpose, and action),
[17]So that the man of God may be complete and proficient, well fitted and thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Amplified Bible Version.

2 Peter 1:19-21
[19]And we have the prophetic word [made] firmer still. You will do well to pay close attention to it as to a lamp shining in a dismal (squalid and dark) place, until the day breaks through [the gloom] and the Morning Star rises (comes into being) in your hearts.
[20][Yet] first [you must] understand this, that no prophecy of Scripture is [a matter] of any personal or private or special interpretation (loosening, solving).
[21]For no prophecy ever originated because some man willed it [to do so–it never came by human impulse], but men spoke from God who were borne along (moved and impelled) by the Holy Spirit.

2. In the triune (i.e Trinity) God who are united in purpose and love towards humanity

Genesis 1:26
[26]God said, Let Us [Father, Son, and Holy Spirit] make mankind in Our image, after Our likeness, and let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the [tame] beasts, and over all of the earth, and over everything that creeps upon the earth. [Ps. 104:30; Heb. 1:2; 11:3.]

Ephesians 4:4-6
[4][There is] one body and one Spirit–just as there is also one hope [that belongs] to the calling you received–
[5][There is] one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
[6]One God and Father of [us] all, Who is above all [Sovereign over all], pervading all and [living] in [us] all.

3. In a true and living God, the Father,

Hebrews 1:1-3
[1]IN MANY separate revelations [each of which set forth a portion of the Truth] and in different ways God spoke of old to [our] forefathers in and by the prophets,
[2][But] in the last of these days He has spoken to us in [the person of a] Son, Whom He appointed Heir and lawful Owner of all things, also by and through Whom He created the worlds and the reaches of space and the ages of time [He made, produced, built, operated, and arranged them in order].
[3]He is the sole expression of the glory of God [the Light-being, the out-raying or radiance of the divine], and He is the perfect imprint and very image of [God's] nature, upholding and maintaining and guiding and propelling the universe by His mighty word of power. When He had by offering Himself accomplished our cleansing of sins and riddance of guilt, He sat down at the right hand of the divine Majesty on high,

1 Corinthians 8:5
[5]For although there may be so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth, as indeed there are many of them, both of gods and of lords and masters,

Jeremiah 10:10-12
[10]But the Lord is the true God and the God of truth (the God Who is Truth). He is the living God and the everlasting King. At His wrath the earth quakes, and the nations are not able to bear His indignation.
[11]Thus shall you say to them: The gods, who did not make the heavens and the earth, shall perish from the earth and from under the heavens.
[12]God made the earth by His power; He established the world by His wisdom and by His understanding and skill stretched out the heavens.

4. In Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God and by whom He created all things. He is our Saviour from sin.

John 1:1-3
[1]IN THE beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself. [Isa. 9:6.]
[2]He was present originally with God.
[3]All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him was not even one thing made that has come into being.

John 14:4-16
[4]And [to the place] where I am going, you know the way.
[5]Thomas said to Him, Lord, we do not know where You are going, so how can we know the way?
[6]Jesus said to him, I am the Way and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except by (through) Me.
[7]If you had known Me [had learned to recognize Me], you would also have known My Father. From now on, you know Him and have seen Him.
[8]Philip said to Him, Lord, show us the Father [cause us to see the Father–that is all we ask]; then we shall be satisfied.
[9]Jesus replied, Have I been with all of you for so long a time, and do you not recognize and know Me yet, Philip? Anyone who has seen Me has seen the Father. How can you say then, Show us the Father?
[10]Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in Me? What I am telling you I do not say on My own authority and of My own accord; but the Father Who lives continually in Me does the (His) works (His own miracles, deeds of power).
[11]Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me; or else believe Me for the sake of the [very] works themselves. [If you cannot trust Me, at least let these works that I do in My Father's name convince you.]
[12]I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, if anyone steadfastly believes in Me, he will himself be able to do the things that I do; and he will do even greater things than these, because I go to the Father.
[13]And I will do [I Myself will grant] whatever you ask in My Name [as presenting all that I AM], so that the Father may be glorified and extolled in (through) the Son. [Exod. 3:14.]
[14][Yes] I will grant [I Myself will do for you] whatever you shall ask in My Name [as presenting all that I AM].
[15]If you [really] love Me, you will keep (obey) My commands.
[16]And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby), that He may remain with you forever–

Acts 4:12
[12]And there is salvation in and through no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by and in which we must be saved.

Colossians 1:16-18
[16]For it was in Him that all things were created, in heaven and on earth, things seen and things unseen, whether thrones, dominions, rulers, or authorities; all things were created and exist through Him [by His service, intervention] and in and for Him.
[17]And He Himself existed before all things, and in Him all things consist (cohere, are held together). [Prov. 8:22-31.]
[18]He also is the Head of [His] body, the church; seeing He is the Beginning, the Firstborn from among the dead, so that He alone in everything and in every respect might occupy the chief place [stand first and be preeminent].

There is still more. I will update soon. I hope you were blessed 🙂🙂💖💖💖💖
