In this series we’ve been asking some big theological questions, like: What is the Bible, What is God the Father, and what is God the Son, what is God the Holy Spirit. And over the past couple of weeks we looked at the questions What is Sin and Salvation and What is Eternal Security. Today we’re looking at another ‘What is…’ question—What is The Great Commandment—a question that is asked of and directly answered by Jesus Himself.

Loss can come at a moment’s notice and strike anything we have. Most of the time, the chance we would lose our job or marriage or health, tomorrow, seems so slim, it isn’t real, but it is. Ask anyone who has experienced it. We can lose anything and everything without seeing it coming. That is why it is such good news that God has something for us we don’t have to fear losing. We continue our 'What is?' is series with the question, 'What is eternal security?' Some call it the 'once saved, always saved' doctrine. To not understand this is to not understand the cross.

Today’s question is: What Is Sin and Salvation? The Bible teaches that every person—regardless of status, personality, or background—needs salvation because humanity has a problem we cannot fix on our own. Our culture often denies that problem, but without recognizing our condition, we’ll never seek the help we desperately need. To truly understand salvation, we first have to understand sin—and the standard by which it’s measured.

Today we continue our series, 'What Is', a series to deepen our faith and understanding in and of God. Last week we looked at What is the Church and continue that today with what is baptism and the Lord’s Supper. Let’s start in Galatians 3:1-3.

What comes to you mind when you hear the word church? I assume for a lot of us it is something positive. We do have a lot of people in culture today talking about church hurt, so it is an assumption. But what comes to your mind? A church you grew up in? A place of family memories: weddings, baby dedications, a funeral? The place you came to Christ? I hope your thoughts of the church are good. I feel blessed that all my memories of church from childhood to last Sunday, are good. I thank God for the church and what it means to me, but does that mean I know and understand what God wants the church to mean in my life?

Today we come to an interesting What Is question. They’re all interesting but today adds a little spooky to the interesting. What is Satan? Yes, there is a personal being devoted to opposing God and opposing God in and for you. To not believe in Satan is to reject the clear and consistent teaching of Jesus and the Scripture. Connected to this would be a study of angels and demons which we are going to do, but near the end. Today will be the individual character: Satan.
