Does the Bible really teach that if one does not make a profession of faith in this life, that he is eternally doomed to being tortured in hell? Would a truly just God create billions of human beings, leave the majority ignorant of the only means of salvation, and
consign them to such a punishment? Would he punish with eternal damnation even the innocent? Learn what the Bible really teaches about salvation, the resurrection, predestination, and how the true God is indeed the God of Grace.

What Are We to Believe?
Many of us, at least in the United States, have heard of the newspaper feature “Ripley’s Believe It or Not.” This feature told of unusual facts which were true, but nevertheless rather hard to believe.
Often it’s hard to believe the truth. Often it’s hard to believe something is possible, until it’s been done.
For more than forty years the Empire State building in New York was the world’s tallest building. But before it was built many did not believe it was possible to build such a tall building. Yet the man who built it believed not only that it could be built—but that it could be built in less than a year and a half. Sure enough he achieved what many did not believe possible. The building was completed in just over a year from the time it was started (http://history1900s.about.com/od/1930s/a/empirestatebldg_3.htm).
Many did not believe the Golden Gate bridge across the entrance to San Francisco Bay could be built—until it was done. Until not long ago most would have thought the idea of man going to the moon was an impossible dream. Yet, now it’s been done. Is it possible for the dead to live again? Is it possible for humans to become like God—shining with supernatural brilliance like the noon-day sun (I John 3:2; Daniel 12:3; Matthew 13:43)? What do you believe is possible?
Does belief matter? Is belief necessary for a Christian? Does it matter what you believe? Does it matter whom you believe? How can you believe the truth?

In this message learn what the Bible reveals about the matter of belief and answers from the Bible to these questions.
Be Filled With Righteousness
Jesus said he who hungers and thirsts for righteousness will be filled (Matthew 5:6). How can this promise be fulfilled in you?
In this message Rod Reynolds addresses questions such as what it means to hunger and thirst for righteousness, what righteousness is, and what is necessary for one to be filled with righteousness.
Find and Remain in the True Church — Part II
Are you a member of the true Church? How many true Churches are there? What is the true Church? How can you know if you are in the true Church? And if you are in the true Church, how can you stay in the true Church of God? These are questions every person who desires to be a genuine Christian faces. We should know the answers. Not knowing the answers has already put the salvation of many in jeopardy, and can put your salvation in jeopardy. A good deal of misinformation has been propagated concerning the matter of being in the Church and how it relates to our standing before God. Years ago, in the midst of an apostasy being engineered by the leaders of a Church of God fellowship, people were told that God called them into a particular corporate Church body, and that’s where he expects them to stay. Individuals have said, “God called me into this Church,” meaning a particular corporate organization, “and this is where I’m staying.”
Is that what God called us into? Is that true?
