  • Jesus Christ is the one and only sacrifice for our sins, and He arose from the dead. (1 Corinthians 15:1-8; Acts 4:12, 5:28-32)

  • Every person has worth as a creation of God, but all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23)
  • Forgiveness of sins and the promise of eternal life are available to those who trust Christ as Savior and Lord. (John 3:16)
