Lesson 6: Christ Has Paid Our Penalty John 14:6 says, "Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: No man comes to the Father except through Me." The only way we can get to God is through Christ. We also read in Acts 4:12, "Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." We cannot be saved by relying on Mohammed, Buddha, Judaism, Hindu gods or any other way. Neither can we devise our own system of "Christianity" as is being done today and expect it to save us. Only Jesus Christ can specify the conditions for our salvation, because He paid our price and is our only saviour. Christ went through much suffering for our sins. It is beyond our imagination what he endured. Christ came to this earth for the purpose of dying for our sins. There are many Old Testament prophesies that foretell the inevitable death of Christ. For example, please read for yourself, Psalms chapter 22 and Isaiah chapter 53.

Lesson 18: Obedience To The Gospel Then after three days, Christ was raised up from the dead. We read in I Corinthians 6:14, "And God both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by His own power." So why is the resurrection of Christ, the gospel or good news? The good news of the resurrection of Christ is that since God was able to raise up Christ, He will also raise us up from the dead. Jesus says in John 11:25, "I am the resurrection, and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live." So the gospel is the death, ... Illustration by Robert Swain The chart above illustrates how that in baptism we obey the gospel.

cr-UBF-university-bible-fellowship We believe that there is one God in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. We believe that God created the heavens and the earth and all other things in the universe: that He is the Sovereign Ruler of all things; that the Sovereign God reveals Himself; we believe in his redemptive work and in his final judgment. We believe that the Bible is inspired by God; that it is the truth; that it is the final authority in faith and practice. We believe that since the fall of Adam, all people have been under the bondage and power of sin and are deserving of the judgment and wrath of God.

What is your ultimate Authority In Religion? What is your ultimate Authority In Religion? The word "authority" means "the right to command or act". Therefore, authority in religion would mean the right to command or act religiously. In the book of Jeremiah, Chapter 10, verse 23, we read, "O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps". We, therefore, see that the human standard for setting authority is wrong. God calls a man a "fool" who would reject the divine standard of authority and trust in his own heart. (Proverbs 28: 26). After Christ arose from the dead, and in giving the great commission, he said, "All power (or authority) is given unto me in heaven and in earth". (Matthew 28: 18).

The Interactive Bible: important. Without it we do not have God. By abiding in it we have both the Father and the Son. In the Bible, the doctrine of Christ includes his virgin birth, his miracles, his death, burial and resurrection, and ascension to the right hand of God. However, there are other things that are important which are in the doctrine of Christ. They include his church, worship, repentance, baptism, the Holy Spirit, the Lord's Supper, right living, and his second coming as well as others. Sometimes there is a tendency to emphasize Christian living and neglect Christian doctrine. This we must not do. They must not be separated. The great doctrines of Jesus form the foundation for righteous living. In I Corinthians 15, the resurrection inspires us to work for Christ, "knowing that our labour is not in vain, in the Lord" I Corinthians 15:58.
