Focus
What Is the Focus of the Bible Church?
Mark 16:15 states, “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” This, ultimately, is the main focus of the Bible Church: to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ to all the world and to every creature.
The Gospel We Preach
-
The Bible says,
For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God
(Romans 3:23).As descendants from Adam, we have inherited a sinful nature. As a result, none of us are good enough to enter into the presence of a holy God. We are all lost and without hope in the world.
-
The Bible says,
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life
(John 3:16).God Himself took care of our problem by sending His own Son to die on the cross in our place and to pay for our sins with His blood.
-
The Bible says,
Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us
(Titus 3:5a).There is no good thing we ourselves can do to erase our sins. We are completely dependent upon the mercy of God to rescue us from our lost condition.
-
The Bible says,
For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of.
(2 Corinthians 7:10).Except ye repent ye shall all likewise perish
(Luke 13:3).It is necessary for each of us to be honest about our sinfulness and to acknowledge this to God through confession of our sins.
-
The Bible says,
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be SAVED
(Acts 16:31).If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead thou shalt be SAVED. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation
(Romans 10:9-10).It is also necessary for each of us to believe in our heart that Jesus Christ is the Divine Son of God and that He has done everything that needs to be done to obtain our salvation. Everyone who believes this and calls upon His name to receive Him as their own personal Savior shall be forgiven for their sins and be given eternal life.
Have you received Jesus Christ as your Savior? If not, would you receive Him now?
