Personality of the GodheadIn the beginning God created the heaven and the earth (Genesis 1:1). He is God; there is none else beside him (Deuteronomy 4: 35). God is a Spirit; and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth (John 4:24). For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus (I Timothy 2:5). Go Jesus was baptized Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech (Genesis 11:7). From the time that it was, there am I; and now the Lord God, and his Spirit, hath sent me (Isaiah 48:16). |

Jesus ChristIn the beginning was the Word When, as his mother, Mary, was espoused to Joseph before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 1:18). Behold, the virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel (Isaiah 7:14). God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the nations, believed on in the world, received up into glory (I Timothy 3:16). And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father), full of grace and truth (John 1:14). No man hath seen God at any time--the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him (John 1:18). And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead (Romans 1:4). And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain (I Corinthians 15: 17). Wherefore, he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them (Hebrews 7:25). This same Jesus |

Holy SpiritWhen the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth When he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment (John 16:8). When he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth (John 16:13). The Comforter, who is the Holy Spirit His spirit that dwelleth in you (Romans 8:11). Be filled with the Spirit (Ephesians 5:18; see also I Corinthians 3:16; Ephesians 3:16). But ye are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his (Romans 8:9; see also vv. 14, 16). |

SinThere is none righteous, no, not one (Romans 3:10). For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us (I John 1:10). If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us (I John 1:8). Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law, for sin is the transgression of the law (I John 3:4). Whatever is not of faith is sin (Romans 14:23). Therefore, to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin (James 4: 17). |

RedemptionWe have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins (Ephesians 1:7). Ye were not redeemed with corruptible things Unto him that loveth us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, and hath made us a kingdom of priests unto God and his Father (Revelation 1:5-6). Without shedding of blood is no remission (Hebrews 9:22). Made peace through the blood of his cross (Colossians 1 :20). This man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God

SalvationBelieve on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved and thy house (Acts 16:31). But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the children of God, even to them that believe on his name (John 1:12). He that believeth on him is not condemned; but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life (John 3:36). Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Spirit (Titus 3:5). For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God--not of works, lest any man should boast (Ephesians 2:8-9). Justified freely Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth (Romans 10:4).

RetributionThe wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23). Those who sleep in the dust And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment (Hebrews 9:27). And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God The Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven If thy foot offend thee, cut it off, it is better for thee to enter lame into life than, having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched (Mark 9:45).
