The Bible is a love story spanning 1,500 years of God's interaction with His greatest creation - us. It's central theme is the gospel of Jesus Christ (death, burial, resurrection), and its
power to save man from Gods judgement to those who believe it (Rom 1:16). But
according to the scriptures, just believing the saving message is not enough to
become a saint of God in His kingdom. God asks us to obey the gospel with
obedient faith in order to make His free gift of grace real in our lives. Below
is the unfolding of the great commission spoken in Matthew 28:19-20 on behalf
of Ms. Caitlin Jones’ and any who desire to be saved.

The sinner by faith is then

The sinners past sins are
cleansed by The blood of Christ in the burial. Acts 2:38, Acts 22:16,

The new Saint now begins to
