Christianity: The Basics

Jesus = Messiah

Jesus died for sins

The bible is 'the inspired word of God.'

Christians are saved by grace, and faith of all.

We do not deserve salvation, but we are given it through Christ.

"As long as there are 3 or more Christians together, that is a church."

"Saved by Gods Grace, through faith in Jesus Christ."

The Trinity:

3-in-1 God

Father, Son, Holy Spirit
