Believers are united in the gospel of Jesus Christ; striving together for the faith of the gospel, especially in the face of opposition which brings suffering.

We are to put the gospel of Jesus Christ first in our lives; desiring the church’s great success and rejoicing.

Believers are being perfected by the power of the gospel and are participants in the mission of the gospel as evidenced by love and righteousness.

We must embrace our weaknesses, content with the sufficiency of God’s grace and glad in the perfecting power of Jesus Christ.

As followers of Jesus, we are to freely give testimony that Jesus is the Son of God (the Christ) and that He will come in glory (as the Lord).

Believers are to stand firm in the grace of God; resisting our adversary the devil, trusting God to exalt us at the proper time, all the while casting our care upon Him, as did Jesus Christ.

Even while suffering persecution, the church and her leaders still behave humbly by the grace of God.

Jesus is presented to God as a firstborn Son, and to man as Savior; our means of righteousness by faith.

Jesus, who was born from above, has become the hope of new birth into the kingdom of God, to all who believe in Him by faith.

Jesus is God’s love incarnate, granting salvation to all who believe the glorious gospel message.
