Matthew 4:17; Hebrews 12:28; Matthew 28:18-20 The victorious, redemptive work of Christ on the cross provides holistic freedom from the power of the enemy. Colossians 1:13-23; Isaiah 53:3-12 The Church is the body of Christ on earth, empowered by the Holy Spirit to continue the task of reaching the lost and discipling the saved, helping them become fully devoted followers of Christ. Acts 1:4-8, 2:4; Ephesians 4:1-16 The government and peace of God are ever-increasing through King Jesus. Isaiah 9:7 Christ will one day return and reign forever with His overcoming bride - the Church. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 When we die, we will either be eternally separated from God by sin or eternally with God through faith in Jesus Christ.
