The central idea

Salvation begins with God’s love and is received by grace through faith in Jesus. Baptism does not earn salvation; it is an obedient, public expression of the new life you have received.

Key Scripture

John 3:16

God’s love is the starting point of the good news.

Romans 3:23; 5:8

Sin separates us, but Jesus came for us while we were still sinners.

Ephesians 2:8–10

We are saved by grace through faith and remade for a life that bears fruit.

Romans 6:4

Baptism pictures burial with Christ and a new way of life.
