We believe that the Bible is God’s message to us. It’s true, relevant and holds the keys to the best thing possible – knowing God better. It contains everything we need to know about what we believe and how we should live.
The Bible is the one authoritative source of knowledge about God. It is the very word of God himself and states its purpose like this: "these things are written that you may believe Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His name" (John 20:31)
A Christian is someone who is a follower of Jesus Christ. The 12 disciples mentioned in the Bible were his first followers. They believed that what He taught and said was life changing. When Jesus died and three days later rose from the dead, they were convinced that Jesus Christ was the Son of God and He had died for the sins of the whole world.
That was more than 2000 years ago. Today there are millions of Christians all over the world whose lives have been changed as they put their faith in God.
One of the things Jesus said was -
So a person becomes a Christian by firstly admitting that their sins have separated them from God and there is no good deed that they can do to get right with God. Secondly they must believe that Jesus loved them so much that He died on the cross for them. The punishment that they deserve for the wrong they had done in God’s eyes was taken by Jesus when He died. Jesus conquered death and rose again offering forgiveness for sin when we put our faith in Him. This changes our lives on earth and God promises us the gift of eternal life in heaven when we die. This is the message of the Bible and the good news that we in Mount Pleasant Church want to share.
