2.  The Bible teaches that the triune God is the sovereign and gracious Creator, Ruler over all things, and the One to whom all Creation owes its allegiance.

3.  Mankind fell into sin by disobeying God's command. In so doing, mankind sinned and experienced the consequences (varying degrees of sadness, pain, disillusionment and physical and spiritual death).

4.  God Himself entered the world through Jesus Christ, the second person of the Trinity, and paid the penalty of death that mankind deserved. His resurrection from the dead conquered death and provided the way for man's sins to be forgiven, intimate communion with God to be restored, and power for living to be made available to those who put their faith in Him.

5.  Each individual must believe in Jesus Christ by faith alone to obtain God's free gift of eternal life
