1 Corinthians 15:1-11 Unless you confess Christ's gospel, your faith is in vein.

Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures and that he appeared to Cephas, and then to the Twelve. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. Whether, then, it is I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed. You can be sure there are many false gospels. Even today there are churches that do not believe that Jesus is the Son of God. How can such belief save? Jesus is the only provision God has made for our redemption. To slight his perfect life, his death on the Cross, and his resurrection from the dead is to be his anti-Christ. Neither religion or tradition saves, only the finished work of Christ on the Cross. Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved, and thy house. Daily Prayer: Lord, keep us from doubt and keep us from stumbling. Let us not walk in the flesh, but in the Spirit. Give us your faith so that we might believe and by unshakable in our conviction. In Jesus name I pray Amen.
