God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has
eternally existed in three persons: the Father, the Son,
and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one
God.

About Man
Man is made in the spiritual image of
God, to be like Him in character. He is the
supreme object of God's creation. Although man has
tremendous potential for good, he is marred by an attitude of
disobedience toward God called sin. This attitude
separates man from God.

About Jesus
Christ
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He
is co-equal with the Father. Jesus lived a sinless
human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for
the sins of all men by dying on a cross. He arose from
the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin
and death. He ascended to Heaven's glory and will return
again to earth to reign as King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.

and the Son as God. He is present in the world to make

About
Eternity
Man was created to exist forever.
He will either exist eternally separated from God by his sin,
or in union with God through forgiveness and salvation.
To be eternally separated from God is Hell. To be
eternally in union with God is eternal life. Heaven and
Hell are places of eternal existence.

about Eternity in these verses:
John 2:25, 3:16; 1 John 5:11-13;
Romans 6:23; Revelation 20:15; Matthew 8:11, 24:44

About
Salvation
Salvation is a gift from God to man.
Man can never make up for his sin by self-improvement or good
works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God's offer
of forgiveness can man be saved from sin's penalty.
Eternal Life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into
his life by faith.
Read what the Bible says
about Salvation in these verses:
Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9;
John 1:12, 14:6; Titus 3:5; Galatians 3:26; Romans 5:1

About Eternal
Security
Because God gives man eternal life
through Jesus Christ, the believer is secure in their
salvation for eternity. Salvation is maintained by the
grace and power of God, not by the self-effort of the
Christian. It is the grace of God that gives this
security.

about Eternal Security in these verses:
John 10:29; 2 Timothy 1:12;
Hebrews 7:25, 10:10-14;
1 Peter 1:3-5
