We do not believe in sinning, but we do believe the Bible testimony that "all have, sinned." We believe the Bible teaching that sin has brought spiritual death to every per . son. "as by one man sin entered the 'world, and -death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned." We believe the declaration of the Bible that not only are all spiritually dead in sin, "alien ated from the life of God,":but that because of sin all ara the judgment and wrath of-: a holy God. "The wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men." "There is none right eous." Though modern men may scoff, we believe the Bible teaching about hell as well as about heaven. We have no doubt God knows what He is talking about.. We believe that on the Cross Jesus' Christ, God's Son, "bore our sins in His own body." "As it is appointed unto men once to die,' . but. after this the judgment, so Christ was once offered to bear the, sins of many." We believe that only by receiving this crucified and risen Jesus as one's own lord and savior may any one have forgiveness of sins and the gift of eternal life. "He that hoth the Son hath life, and he that hath not the Son of e God hath not life." "In Him we have redemp tion through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins."
