Welcome to Free Grace!

Blessings to everyone!

Grace and peace to all readers from God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit! This is the first ever posting of Free Grace Christian Fellowship, so I want to take this first post to outline what it is this ministry believes!

We believe in God the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth. We believe in Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to hell.

On the third day, He rose again from the dead and ascended into heaven, where He is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From there He will come to judge the living and the dead.

We believe in the Holy Spirit. We believe in the holy invisible church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. We believe that the Bible is, from cover to cover, the complete, infallible Word of God, divinely inspired and recorded faithfully through the ages. It contains the complete wisdom and commandments of God, and the revelation of Jesus Christ, and all we need to know for salvation is contained in its pages.

I could write 20 pages in detail about what we believe. Know this: There is no condemnation now for those who have put their trust in the Lord Jesus Christ, and rely on His finished work on the cross for our salvation. Christ is, was, and always will be the 100% Savior, and any obedience is born of love for the Triune God. Obedience is a RESPONSE to God's grace through Christ...not a REQUIREMENT. We are not good enough on our own, no matter how hard we try...we are only saved through Christ, who leads us to a renewing of our souls, a faith that leads to repentance!

I will do my best to post something as often as I can. I will post varying things, from sermons to devotions and some every day thoughts. It is my prayer that together, regardless of where we may be in the world, we can worship and honor Christ, the Lord of lords and King of kings!
