IMPORTANCE

Primary Essentials

Stated specifically in Scripture that these cannot be denied and still be a Christian. They deal with the nature of God, the atonement, and its method of salvation applied to the believer. Denial of any Primary essential constitutes lack of regeneration, lack of salvation. Note: Regeneration means the believer is indwelt by God, changed, and enabled to understand spiritual things (1 Cor. 2:15)

SUBJECT

1) Jesus is both God and man (John 1:1, 14, 8:24, Col. 2:9, 1 John 4:1-4).
2) Jesus rose from the dead physically (John 2:19-21, 1 Cor. 15:14).
3) Salvation is by grace through faith alone (Rom. 5:1, Eph. 2:8-9, Gal. 3:1-2, 5:1-4).
4) The gospel is the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus according to the Scriptures (1 Cor. 15:1-4, Gal. 1:8-9).
5) There is only one God (Exodus 20:3, Isaiah 43:10, 44:6, 8 ).
