The Remedy
of God
We believe that the shed blood of Jesus
Christ and His resurrection provide the
only ground for justification and
salvation for all who believe, and only
such as receive Jesus Christ are born
of the Holy Spirit and, thus become
children of God.
“…there are some who are disturbing
you and want to distort the gospel of
Christ. But even if we, or an angel from
heaven, should preach to you a gospel
contrary to what we have preached to
you, he is to be accursed!” (Gal. 1:7-8)

profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world,
and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give
in exchange for his soul?” (MT 16:24-26)
