Opening a new chapter for this blog by beginning 2025 with the Good News of Salvation. I did not include my thoughts with this 2025 opening but used a section of text from one of the Bibles I frequently use for study. With this said, the opening for 2025 is as follows:
In accordance with the Scriptures, Christ the Messiah, the Son of the living God, became human, incarnate in the person of Jesus of Nazareth, lived a morally perfect and sinless life, died for our sins on the Cross as a substitutionary sacrifice, was buried in a tomb, and was raised bodily from the dead on the third day. Everyone who hears and accepts this message of salvation, believing in their heart that God raised Christ from the dead, will be pardoned of all their sins, given the gift of the Holy Spirit, and granted everlasting life in perpetual union with God. Salvation is found in Christ alone by grace alone, through faith alone, and not by works.

For those who may have doubts, the Bible asserts that the heart is inherently deceitful (Jeremiah 17:9), and human understanding is intrinsically flawed (1 Corinthians 1:20; 3:19). Consequently, God’s word is the ultimate authority and must guide and ultimately determine all matters of truth and doctrine.
