Greetings...
This afternoon, we are going to be examining “three facts to believe” “three commands to obey” and “three promises to hold on to.”
All three points are reflected upon the gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
1 Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, 2 and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. 3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures,

Why say all this, because more and more are denying it, but these three facts cannot be denied to those that actually examine them.
In the Babylonian Talmud we read, “One the eve of the Passover Yeshu was hanged.” (http://bit.ly/2Bfr7B1)
Lucian of Samosata of the 2nd century wrote, “The Christians…worship a man to this day - the distinguished personage who introduced their novel rites, and was crucified on that account...” (Ibid)

It takes an understanding of not just who Jesus is but who we are to build on faith in Him.
30 The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent,
10 So you also, when you have done all that you were commanded, say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done what was our duty.’ ”
Lk 17:10
Baptism is the roof.
Baptism is the roof.
When we act on faith and are immersed in a watery grave, in the likeness of the death, burial, and resurrection, we are putting the finishing touches on obedience unto salvation.
3 Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his.

Col 1:
22 he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him, 23 if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a minister.
