Prophecy
Bible prophecy preserves and strengthens a believer’s hope for the Second Advent. It identifies religious, social, and political trends and events, including the rebirth of the nation of Israel, which point to the imminent return of Christ and the eventual establishment of God’s eternal kingdom on earth.
The Ten Commandments
The Ten Commandments were known and obeyed by faithful people before the law was given at Sinai. Later incorporated into the new covenant by the example and teaching of Christ, they constitute the basic moral code for humanity and are obeyed to demonstrate the believers’ love for God and his fellowman.
Christian Ordinances
As the Passover is an annual observance the keeping of the New Testament Passover and the symbols of washing of feet, breaking of unleavened bread and drinking of wine are annual in observance (Luke 22:19 indicates annual observance).
Man, Satan, Sin and Death
Humanity was created in the image of God as sinless, but not naturally immortal. Sin entered the world when Adam and Eve yielded to the temptation of God’s adversary, Satan.
Church
The church of God in Scripture is a spiritual body of believers who hold the faith of Jesus and keep the commandments of God. Under the lordship of Christ and the authority of His Word, the church exists universally and locally for purposes of worshipping God, preaching the gospel, nurturing believers, and serving humanity.
Holy Spirit
Nowhere in the Bible is the Holy Spirit called “God”. Not one epistle of Paul or any general epistle gives a salutation to the Holy Spirit, only to God and Jesus. Everywhere in the Bible the Holy Spirit is shown to be the essence of God, the power of God given to mankind to fill His believers with “God’s Holy Spirit.”
Jesus The Son
“Jesus Christ is God’s one and only begotten Son. As begotten, not created, He shares the nature, names, and attributes of God with the Father. As Son, not Father, Jesus is subordinate to His Father in rank.
God The Father
“God the Father of whom are all things, whom no one has seen nor can see, reigns in the heavens and transcends our complete knowing. He is revealed as our loving heavenly Father by His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Deity
A “Deity” is considered to be a god; divine in nature; godhead. We are commanded by God in Ex. 20:3 to “have no other gods before me.” Since the fall of Lucifer, who himself wanted to be god there have been myriads of counterfeit “gods” in this world.
The Bible
How do we know of the validity of the Bible? History and prophecy show us why the Bible is valid. Prophecies have been fulfilled multiple times and history has shown the light of God in two ways.
