about salvation

Everyone has sinned and needs salvation. Salvation comes by grace through faith based on the atoning sacrifice
of Jesus Christ. (See Romans 3:23-25; 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9.)

The saving gospel is the good news that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and rose again. We obey the gospel
(II Thessalonians 1:8; I Peter 4:17) by repentance (death to sin), water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ
(burial), and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit (resurrection). (See I Corinthians 15:1-4; Acts 2:4, 37-39;
Romans 6:3-4.)
