Reaching Cork for Christ |
|
|
|
(5) THE HOLY SPIRIT - He convinces the world of sin, of righteousness and judgment; He regenerates, indwells, comforts, guides and empowers those who believe in Jesus Christ. Matt. 28:19; John 16:8-11; John 14:16-17; Gal. 4:6 Acts 1:8; Eph. 1:13; 4:3 |
|
|
|
(6) THE DEVIL - He once enjoyed heavenly honours but through pride and ambition to be as the Almighty, fell from his position; he is the arch enemy of God, the father of lies, the tempter, the author of false religions, the unholy god of this world system; II Cor. 11:1315; Rev. 20:10 |
|
|
|
(7) THE CREATION - Everything that exists was created and made by God according to the Genesis account; and that all life brings forth after its kind. Gen. 1:1; Col. 1:16,17; Heb. 11:3 |
|
|
|
(8) THE FALL OF MAN - By voluntary transgression, man fell from his innocent condition in the Garden of Eden; henceforth all men are born with Adam’s sinful nature; therefore, all men are sinners by nature and by choice. Rom. 3:1013; 5.12; Gal. 3:22 |
|
|
|
(9) THE ATONEMENT OF SIN - Only God could make atonement and forgive sin; thus Jesus took upon Himself our sins and died for them upon the cross; He paid the full penalty demanded by justice so that we might be freely forgiven. II Cor. 5:21; I Peter 3:18; Heb. 7:25 |
|
|
|
(10) THE SALVATION OF SINNERS - God grants the free gift of salvation to all who truly repent and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ; it is apart from works, religions, education, parents and philosophy; that nothing prevents sinners from being saved except their rejection of God’s only way. Act. 13:39; Eph. 1.13,14; John 1:12 |
