God has promised eternal salvation to all men who will come to him through his son, Jesus Christ. Titus 1:2 and Acts 4:10-12.
The saints at the Highland Drive Church of Christ can teach you God’s simple plan of salvation. You need not fear that we will teach you man-made creeds, doctrines or traditions.
We teach only the pure, simple truth of God’s word. We do not add to nor take away from the word of God. We believe that the Bible is God’s inspired word, from the first page of the book of Genesis to the last page of the book of Revelation. The Bible is our one and only authority for all we teach and do.
There are two important things all accountable men and women must do in order to go to heaven for eternity and to escape an eternity in hell.
Those two things are: No. 1, obey God’s plan of salvation, and No. 2, remain faithful unto death, worshiping God with the saints/saved and doing those things that God commands us in the New Testament.
The gospel, (God’s plan of salvation ) is easy to understand and simple to obey:
• Hear: Acts 15:7, “7 And when there had been much dispute, Peter rose up and said to them: ‘Men and brethren, you know that a good while ago God chose among us, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe.’”
• Believe: Mark 16:16, “16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved . . .”
• Repent: Acts 2:38, “38 Then Peter said to them, ‘Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.’”
• Confess: Romans 10:9, “9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”
• Be baptized INTO Christ: Romans 6:3-4, “3 Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.”
Acts 22:16, “16 And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.”
Once you obey the gospel, we will teach you how God commands that we worship him and live for him the rest of our lives.
Once you obey the gospel, it is just the beginning of a wonderful life, worshipping God, working in his kingdom, having fellowship with all the saints and having meaning and purpose in your life.
Everyone of us have an eternal soul that will spend eternity in either HEAVEN or HELL. We will all appear before the judgement seat of God to be judged for what we’ve done in this life;
2 Corinthians 10:9-11, “9 Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to him. 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. 11 Knowing, therefore, the terror of the Lord, we persuade men … . “
What is this “… the terror of the Lord …” that Paul speaks of in verse 11 and what does Paul “ … persuade men …” to do.
The terror of the Lord that Paul is speaking of is the judgement that all the unsaved, who are outside of Christ will experience on the day of judgement. That is when they will be sentenced to Hell for all eternity because they did not obey the gospel and live a faithful life for God.
Revelation 2:15, “15 And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.”
Knowing this, Paul spent his life persuading men and women to obey the gospel, so that they can avoid an eternity of suffering in Hell and enjoy a blessed, eternal existence in HEAVEN.
The Christians at the Highland Drive Church of Christ want to help all the LOST SOULS of this world to hear the gospel, obey the gospel and live for God for the rest of your lives.
Then, you will have no fear on the judgement day. Your name will be written in the Book Of Life, and you will be allowed to enter into Heaven to spend all eternity.
Please understand that your only chance for salvation is while you are still alive.
Once you have died, there are no more chances to obey the gospel and save your soul from HELL.
In whatever condition you die in ( LOST or SAVED ), is the condition you will face God in on the day of judgement. Please act NOW. Obey the gospel before it is eternally too late.
God does not want anyone to perish in HELL. God wants all to be SAVED and so do we.
2 Peter 3:9, “9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some count slackness, but is long suffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.”
Please let us help you NOW!
