    • There is only one God, one Creator, existing in three persons, the Trinity.
      • Since He is Creator, we must give account to Him. Gen 1:1; John1:1-2
      • Since He is Sustainer of all, we must give account to Him. Colossians 1:17; Rev 4:11

    • Christ Jesus will be the judge of all

      • The Great White Throne Judgment. Rev 20:11-15
        • Judged by works is to determine degree only.
        • The deciding factor is whether their name is in the Book of Life.
          • The Book of Life is there for evidence.
          • It is that proof that the individual’s name is not there and thus must receive the judgment appointed.
      • Only those who have had their sins washed away by the Blood shed by Jesus Christ at Calvary’s Cross will have their name there.
