Gospel Gut Check: Jesus Had to Die

There are lots of different beliefs about Jesus. This was no less true in the first century than it is today. But what distinguishes orthodox Christianity from any other religion? As we continue our study of 1 John, John describes the heterodox beliefs of the defectors from the Ephesian church. While they still professed to believe in Jesus, they did not believe in His atoning death. While there are many beliefs that Scripture teaches about Jesus, the fact that He had to die for sinners is preeminent in the orthodox view of Jesus. faithpreschurch.org Faith Presbyterian Church (EPC) — Covington, LA Text: 1 John 5:6-11 (ESV) Series: Gospel Gut Check - A Study in 1 John Sermon Title: Jesus Had to Die Preacher: Ruling Elder Todd Fernandez
