3 Basic teachings of the Bible:

1. The Holy Bible is 100% true.

The Holy Bible is the perfect words of the Creator, the God who made heaven and earth. 100% proof.

2. Jesus is the true and only God.

Jesus Christ is the Creator, the God who made heaven and earth. He entered his creation and lived a perfect life.

John 1:10

“He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.” John 1:10 KJV

1 Timothy 3:16

“And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.” 1 Timothy 3:16 KJV

Isaiah 9:6

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6 KJV

3. Heaven is a free gift to believers.

We can’t earn heaven by doing good things, it is a free gift that God gives to those who believe the gospel. Salvation message.

Ephesians 2:8-9

8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Romans 5:16

“And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.” Romans 5:16 KJV

Romans 3:23-28

23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.

28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

“For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.” 1 Corinthians 14:33
