God delights in us whom He put into Christ.

The message of Christianity is so simple, over the years, we’ve had a lot of help.

So, what then is the message:

1. That all children of Adam and Eve (primarily me, you) have sinned. (Romans 3:23)
2. That the penalty for sin is death – bodily first, then forever in hell. (Romans 6:23)
3. That Jesus Christ paid that penalty we have accrued by His death on the cross. (Romans 5:8)
4. That justification before God is pure gift as opposed to a matter of our works. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
5. The assurance that one really is justified before God, now and then forever. (1 John 5:12-13)
