The first and most important mark of a true church is that the Word of God is faithfully preached, heard and obeyed.

The visible church includes people who are not truly born again and we are called to judge those who claim to be Christians.

The church is composed of all of God’s redeemed children from all ages.

Christians do not just relate to God as individuals, but as members of his church, which exists for his glory.

God’s purpose in saving his people is to make them holy and bring them to heaven to live with him forever; to die is gain!

When Christians die, their souls are perfected. When Christ returns we receive imperishable, glorious, powerful resurrection bodies.

The church is the bride of Christ and must be holy. The purpose of sanctification is to make us holy.

A Christian’s armor is also built on his assurance of faith and his knowledge and application of the Word of God. Prayer is also essential.

A Christian’s armor is built on the righteousness of Christ, our own righteousness, our peace with God and the strength of our faith.

Satan wants to destroy Christians, but if we are zealous for the truth it will help us avoid sin.
