Authentic Christian Faith

by Rev. Jeremiah Cheung

Salvation is God’s free gift to the world. We don’t need to obey any set of do’s and don’ts to obtain it, we simply accept it by faith. Salvation is not a religion. There is no one religion that can save any person, because religion is all about rules, do’s and don’ts, which no one can completely observe.

Salvation is not a religion, salvation is a relationship. True faith is a relationship with God.

Matthew 4:19 records Jesus’s invitation to a pair of brothers by the Sea of Galilee. When they were casting their nets into the sea, He said to them, “Come, follow me! I will make you fishers of men.” And immediately they left their nets, and followed Him.

This precious statement tells us what true Christian Faith is. A person who is truly saved, a true follower of Jesus possesses three very obvious characteristics.

1. Follow Me

2. I Will Make You
– back to basics
– back to the Bible
– back to the Cross

3. Fishers of Men
