Today, we embark on an exploration of the foundational tenets of our Christian faith as depicted in the Holy Scriptures.
1. The Authority and Inspiration of the Holy Scriptures
2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NKJV):
> “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
The Apostle Paul emphasizes the divine authority of the Scriptures. Every word in the Bible comes from God, serving as a guide for our beliefs and actions, ensuring we remain grounded in the truth.

2. The Nature of God
*Deuteronomy 6:4 (NKJV):
> “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one!”
This cornerstone scripture, often referred to as the Shema, stresses the oneness and uniqueness of God. Throughout history, God's singular nature has been at the heart of Christian belief, setting it apart from polytheistic beliefs.

3. The Deity and Humanity of Christ
John 1:1, 14 (NKJV):
> “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God... And the Word became 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.”
Context:
John proclaims the profound mystery of Jesus: fully divine as the Word of God, yet fully human, incarnated to dwell among us. This duality is a cornerstone, affirming Christ as both God and man.

4. The Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus Christ
1 Corinthians 15:3-4 (NKJV)
> “For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: 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.”
Paul underscores the essential belief in Jesus' sacrificial death and triumphant resurrection. It's through this act of love and power that believers are offered salvation and eternal life.
---
5. Salvation by Grace through Faith
Ephesians 2:8-9 (NKJV):
> “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.”
Paul elucidates the grace of God, which is the unmerited favor bestowed upon us. Our salvation isn't earned by deeds but received through faith in Christ.
---
6. The Return of Jesus Christ
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 (NKJV):
> “For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.”
Paul reminds believers of the blessed hope: the return of Christ. This event signifies the culmination of human history and the beginning of eternity with God.---
The foundations of our faith are firmly rooted in the Holy Scriptures. As we continue our journey, may we cling to these truths, be fortified by them, and allow them to guide our daily lives.
Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock." - Matthew 7:24 (NKJV)
