The Compass Monthly ÿ  Sunday Morning Bulletin (weekly)

We believe the Bible teaches that Jesus Christ ...

1.) …Is the Son of God.

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

John 3:16

2.) …Was born of a virgin.

This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit.

Matthew 1:18

3.) …Lived a sinless life.

God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.

II Corinthians 5:21

4.) …Willingly died on the cross for our sins.

The reason My Father loves Me is that I lay down My life - only to take it up again. No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.

John 10:17-18

5.) …Rose from the grave on the third day and remained on earth for 40 days after His resurrection appearing to over 500 witnesses.

After His suffering, He showed Himself to these men and gave many convincing proofs that He was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.

Acts 1:3
 

For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that He appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. After that, He appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of who are still living, though some have fallen asleep.

I Corinthians 15:3-6

6.) …Ascended back to heaven and will one-day come back for His people.

Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in Me  In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with Me that you also may be where I am.

John 14:2-4

7.) …Is the only way for salvation.

Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."

John 14:6

8.) …Must be personally received in a person's heart for that person to be saved.

Yet to all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God - children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision, or a husband's will, but born of God.

John 1:12-13
