Handing on the faith!

We're on about Jesus Christ.

The Apostle Paul once wrote, "what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve."

Griffith Christian Students also hold fast to these fundamental truths of the Christian faith, as they have been passed on from the Apostles. And we are also keen to pass them on as of first importance. Yes, we are!

1 The divine inspiration and infallibility of Holy Scripture as originally given and its supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
2 The unity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit in the Godhead.
3 The universal sinfulness and guilt of humanity since the fall, rendering men and women subject to God's wrath and condemnation.
4 The conception of Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit and his birth by the Virgin Mary.
5 Redemption from the guilt, penalty and power of sin only though the sacrificial death, as our representative and substitute, of Jesus Christ, the incarnate Son of God.
6 The bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
7 The necessity of the work of the Holy Spirit to make the death of Christ effective in the individual sinner, granting him or her repentance towards God, and faith in Jesus Christ.
8 The indwelling and work of the Holy Spirit in the believer.
9 The expectation of the personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Apostle Paul wasn't giving his readers a hospital pass. You too can pass on these fundamental truths as of first importance.
