A Christian must believe that…

Man is a Sinner fallen from original righteousness and a high, intelligent and responsible place as head of the present creation. Apart from God’s redemption grace is lost. Man is not the unfortunate victim of environment, one who through self-culture can make good.

Romans 3:23-25

23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 

24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 

25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

Hebrews 1: 1-3

1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spoke in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,

2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

3  Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

Hebrews 7:25

25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that comes unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
