By believing in the “One God” who created all things, believing in the “One Lord” Jesus Christ and believing that He was crucified, buried, and resurrected on our behalf, being taught and believing in the “One Faith” that was taught by Jesus and his Apostles, being baptized with the “One Baptism”, into the “One Lord” Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins, receiving the ”One Spirit” as a gift and being added to the ”One Body” at the time you obey the gospel, you can have the “One Hope” of Eternal Life. It is our prayer that you will make the proper response to the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
