Scripture

Without the Scripture (Bible) we have nothing on which to base our belief’s. The Bible is God’s word about man and his relationship to God.
Psalms 12:6 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
Psalms 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.The Lord Jesus told how important Scripture is:
(Matthew 24:35, Mark 13:31, Luke 16:17, Luke 21:33) Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
Study the Word
2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Romans 15:4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
1 Corinthians 10:11 Now all these things happened unto them for examples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
Reason to Study
2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
Doctrine a belief or set of beliefs held and taught by a Church, political party, or other group.
Reproof an expression of blame or disapproval.
Correction the action or process of correcting something, used to introduce an amended version of something one has just said.
Instruction detailed information telling how something should be done, operated, or assembled.
Righteousness the quality of being morally right or justifiable.
2 Timothy 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
Perfect having all the required or desirable elements, qualities, or characteristics; as good as it is possible to be.
Furnished to supply with what is useful or necessary, to fit out, provide, equip.
And to conclude:
1 Corinthians 2:12-16 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.

Man

Created by God. Genesis 5:1 … In the day when God created man, He made him in the likeness of God.

Genesis 2-3 Creation of Adam and Eve

Trinity

The word TRINITY is not in the scripture! But the truth is. The Christian Godhead is one God in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The New Testament speaks of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit together; the Father is understood as the protector of the Jews, the Son as the savior of mankind, and the Holy Spirit as the preserver of the church.

2 Corinthians 13:14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.

I Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

Colossians 2:2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:14 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.

Sin Judgment

How a Christian Treats Sin - Inductive Bible StudyInductive Bible Study

Sin entered into the world thru Adam and has passed to all mankind. We are born in sin, separated from God. And if we die in that state, we will spend all eternity separated from God.

1 Timothy 2:13-14 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

Revelation 20:12-15 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Salvation

What Is Salvation All About? - YouTube
It’s the plan of God to redeem man from in and provide for him a home in Heaven. It’s all the work of Christ in His death, burial and resurrection according to the Scriptures.

1 Corinthians 15:1-4 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:

Romans 10:9-13 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

The saved don’t become sinless… they just sin less…
