ARTICLES OF FAITH

The Grace of God

"For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world" (Titus 2:11-12 _KJV).

"For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ" (John 1:17 _KJV).

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9 _KJV).

A Christian must walk with God and keep himself in the love of God (Jude 21) and in the grace of God.  When a person transgresses and sins against God and does not repent, he will eventually be lost and cast into the lake of fire. (See John 15:2, 6; II Peter 2:20-21.) Jude speaks of the backsliders of his day, and their reward. (See also Hebrews 6:4-6.)

Restitution of All Things

We understand the Scripture to teach the "restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began" (Acts 3:21 _KJV). But we cannot find where the devil, his angels, and all sinners are included. (See Revelation 20:10.)
