A Study From Pastor Stephen

Our ministry has many branches, as God our Father has the vine, Jesus, He has the branches, those branches include each of us who believes. This study was written by our Outreach Ministry member, Pastor Stephen Okoth. His words are inspiring.

With Bible doctrine one must always go back to the place of origin.

In connection with the origin of creation we must go back to the Creator, in connection with redemption we must go back to the Redeemer.

The great plan of salvation that God has provided is realized in the fact that He brings His sons and daughters back to their original position.

To them He gives eternal life and they will be eternally with Him.

God unfolds His Plan of Redemption before us and we are partakers of His provision.

Not just knowledge about God — it must be accurate knowledge, namely that GOD WAS IN CHRIST, His only begotten Son, the anointed One, to reconcile the world with Himself (2 Corinthians 5:19).

The Son said, "Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me; or else believe me for the very works’ sake." (John 14:11).

The Father, who is God the Spirit, was in heaven on the throne and on earth IN THE SON at the same time.

Doctrine, knowledge, or religion does not bring salvation; God Himself did it through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

May we be blessed in the fact that God’s grace and love brought our Savior to us, to die for us, and to share everlasting life. Thank you very much for sharing this, Pastor Stephen.
