SEVEN ESSENTIAL CHARACTERISTICS OF CHRISTIANITY: ONE GOD

by J. K. Gossett [Note: This is a reprint from J.K. Gossett's book The Gospel in Newsprint]

Today we present for your consideration the eighth article on the seven basic pillars of Christianity as set out in Ephesians 4:4-6. Just as there is one body, one Spirit, one hope, one Lord, one faith, and one baptism, there is one God. This has been the case from eternity. “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth,” is the first sentence in the Bible, a majestic statement indeed.

AN AWESOME RESPONSIBILITY

I am the one sitting near the back of the building. I am not there every time the saints meet, but I am trying and I am doing better. I haven’t been a Christian long and when I see the same people worshiping God each week, I am encouraged to be more faithful. I know I am missed when I get phone calls or cards in the mail. Thank you for being friendly and encouraging, and caring.

SEVEN ESSENTIAL CHARACTERISTICS OF CHRISTIANITY: ONE FAITH

by J. K. Gossett [Note: This is a reprint from J.K. Gossett's book The Gospel in Newsprint]

In previous articles consideration has been given to the one body, one Spirit, one hope, and one Lord. Today our focus is upon the one faith. This one faith is in the context of six other subjects, each one being preceded and defined by the word one. The full text states: “There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one FAITH, one baptism, one God and Father of all who is above all, and through all, and in you all” (Ephesians 4:4-6). These seven ones combined are characteristics of true Christianity and of no other religion.
