"Living to create an earthly legacy is a short-sighted goal. A wiser use of time is to build an eternal legacy." R. Warren

 

Why Should It Be Thought Incredible?

Acts 26:6-8

The word "incredible" has become very much a part of our vocabulary. A few years ago we even had a television program entitled "That’s Incredible." There are several Bible truths that to us seem incredible, but they are true none-the-less.

The resurrection

A. The creation – God’s power.

B. The resurrection of Christ

True Christianity is undenominational

C. John 17:20-21

D. Eph. 4:3-6

Baptism is essential to salvation

E. Mark 16:16; Acts 2:38; Acts 22:16; Rom. 6:3-4,

17-18

F. When does the Bible say we are "free from sin?"

Accountable souls are lost without Christ.

G. Jn. 8 21; Jn. 14:6; Mk. 16:15-16

H. If we can send bad news around the world, why not the "good news?"

One can live a victorious Christian life.

I. Titus 2:11-12

J. But, we are not sinless. I Jn. 1:7-9; Rev. 3:4-5

Perhaps the most incredible thing to believe is that God would save any of us! God’s mercy is the most incredible thing in the universe. However, it is also incredible to think that people reject God’s offer of salvation. Do not reject Jesus Christ!
