The Good News
We believe and build our faith upon the Four Spiritual Laws.
We are called by God to be blessed as His children and shine His light in all the world.
As Christians we have the privileged responsibility to lovingly share the Good News with our life and words.
God loves you and offers a wonderful plan for your life.
Why are most people are not experiencing that abundant life?
All humankind is sinful and separated from God.
Therefore, we cannot know and experience God’s love and plan for our life.
Bible Verse
God’s Love
John 3:16
“God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
God’s Plan
John 10:10
Christ said: “I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly” [that it might be full and meaningful].
Humankind is sinful
Humankind was created to have fellowship with God; but, because of self-will, the first man and woman chose to go their own independent way and their relationship with God was broken.
This self-will, characterised by an attitude of active rebellion or passive indifference, is evidence of what the Bible calls sin.
Jesus Christ is God’s way of atonement for all sin. Through Him you can know and experience God’s love and plan for your life.
Bible Verse
“All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”
Romans 6:23
“The wages of sin is death” [spiritual separation from God]
Jesus died in our place
To know and experience God’s great love and plan for our lives, we must personally receive Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord.
Bible Verse
“God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us”
He rose from the dead
1 Corinthians 15:3-6
“Christ died for our sins… He was buried… He was raised on the third day, according to the Scriptures… He appeared to Peter, then to the twelve. After that He appeared to more than five hundred…”
He is the only way to God
John 14:6
“Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father but through Me’”
We can receive Christ
Receiving Christ involves turning to God from self and trusting Christ to come into our lives to forgive our sins and to make us what He wants us to be.
Just to agree intellectually that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that He died on the cross for our sins is not enough. Nor is it enough to have an emotional experience.
We receive Jesus Christ by faith, as an act of the will.
Bible Verse
“As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name”
We receive Christ through faith
Ephesians 2:8-9
“By grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as result of works that no one should boast”
When we receive Christ, we experience a new birth
John 3:5-6
“Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.”
When we receive Christ, we must also receive the Holy Spirit
Acts 2:38
“Repent and be baptised, 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.”
We receive Christ through personal invitation
Revelation 3:20
Christ said: “Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if any one hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him”
