Basic Christian beliefs

If you’ll listen to your conscience and let it show you where you’re off track, it will lead you to truth with the aid of God’s Spirit. (See Romans 9:1.)

By our sin we have separated ourselves from God, but He has lovingly made a way for whosoever will to be restored to intimacy with Him before we die. For 2,000 years Christianity has taught that sin broke the human connection with God and alienates us from Him. Jesus came and died so that whosoever will can have that connection restored.

Some people say that sin is a myth, but the evil, cruelty and self-focus in human hearts is no myth. It’s a destructive reality!

Christianity is based on these scriptural concepts:
* Jesus is the Creator in human flesh.
* He was born and lived as a man.
* He lived a life without sin.
* He was crucified to save us from our sins.
* He rose from the dead.
* He’s present and active in His followers today.
“Christ in you, the hope of glory.”

About Steve Simms

I like to look and think outside the box. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I long to see the power and passion of the first Christ-followers come to life in our time. I have written a book about our experiences in non-traditional church, called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia." If you need encouragement, search for: Elephants Encouraging The Room and/or check out my Amazon author page. Thank you!
