There is only one God - Jesus is His name!


 God is a Spirit. He is holy. He is the Holy Spirit. He is our Heavenly Father. (Malachi 2:10).

Because man broke his communion with God by sin, God desired to make peace. Only a holy God could pay the price for our sins and redeem us back to Himself. God robed Himself in human flesh and died for our sins. (Colossians 1:20, 2 Corinthians 5:19).

"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

“Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever…" - Isaiah 9:6-7 KJV

At the time of His birth, God revealed His name that would be above every name, the name of Jesus. (Matthew 1:21). By His name Jesus, God brought salvation to all mankind, whosoever would believe on Him and follow Him by the gospel. (1Corinthians 15:1-4, Philippians 2:5-11, Acts 4:12, Mark 16:16, John 3:5, Acts 2:38, 2Thessalonians 1:8).

"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." - Acts 4:12 KJV

Jesus suffered and died in our place for our sins, that we might have life. Jesus was buried, but on the third day He rose again. Forty days later, Jesus ascended to heaven. (1Corinthians 15:1-4).

Jesus commissioned His disciples to preach this gospel and how to follow Jesus.

On the Day of Pentecost, Jesus began pouring out His Spirit on His disciples.

"And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance." - Acts 2:4 KJV

The eleven apostles stood with Peter while he preached the gospel to all those that had gathered. At the conclusion of his message, Peter answered their question,

"Men and brethren, what shall we do?" - Acts 2:37 KJV

"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call." - Acts 2:38-39 KJV
