The Gospel

Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the GOSPEL which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

1 Peter 2:21


Title:  Follow in his steps


Suffering for doing what is good and right is part of the growing process of the Christian.

We’ve always maintained that Christianity is not a religion; it is a new way of life that is lived by faith in participation with the life of the Lord Jesus.  A Christian, therefore, is someone who follows in the steps of Jesus, learns obedience and is made perfect (refined to the point where his faith is proven genuine) through suffering.

This journey leads to glory, and is put into effect by the Spirit of glory and of God blessing and refreshing us whenever we suffer as Christians.
