Teaching Points
- 1
The Gospel is not about self-improvement — it is about death and resurrection. You die to your old life and are born into a new one.
- 2
Salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. It is not earned by good behavior, church attendance, or religious performance.
- 3
The Bible is the authoritative, inspired Word of God — not a human invention. It reveals who God is, who we are, and what He has done.
- 4
The Trinity is one God in three persons — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Not three gods, not one person in three modes — one God, eternally relational.
- 5
Every person is made in the image of God (Imago Dei) — this gives every human life dignity, value, and purpose.
