Stewardship Corner:
“Those who feel the constraining love of God, do not ask how
little may be given to meet the requirements of God, they do not
ask for the lowest standard, but aim at perfect conformity to the
will of their Redeemer. With earnest desire they yield all and
manifest an interest proportionate to the value of the object which
they seek.” (Steps to Christ, pg 28)

There is one God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Hebrews 1-3; II Corinthians
13:14; I Peter 1:2.
The Bible is the only rule of faith and practice. II Timothy 2:15; II Peter 1:19-
21.
The Ten Commandment law declares God's will reveals sin and reminds all
their need of a savior. Genesis 3:17-19; Romans 5:12-15; Galatians 3:22-24.
One who is justified by faith, God declares righteous on the ground of Jesus
Christ's substitutionary life and death. Romans 4:3-5; Galatians 3:7-11.
The fruit of the Gospel includes the new birth and progressive sanctification
until glorification at the day of Jesus Christ. John 3:1-7; Acts 2:37, 38; Romans
6:1-6.
God writes His law upon the hearts and minds of believers in Jesus. Exodus
20:3-17; James 2:10-12; Hebrews 8:7-1.
Joined by faith to Jesus Christ, one becomes a member of His body, the
Church. I Corinthians 12:13; Ephesians 2:13.
Participation in His body includes baptism, worship, the Lord's Supper and
spiritual gifts. Ephesians 4:8,11; Matthew 28:18-20; I Corinthians 11:23-29;
Hebrews 10:22-25.
The righteous receives immortality at Christ's return, and the wicked eternal
death at the Millenniums end as the new earth becomes the saint's possession
forever. John 14:1-3; Malachi 4:1-3; I Thessalonians 4:16, 17; 1 Corinthians
15:51-58.
