Central Doctrines of Christianity

This is not an exhaustive list of verses for each topic given. Below is a list of central doctrines of Christianity found in Scripture-the bible-God's true and living word. 

The Gospel
Romans 3:10-12
Romans 3:23
Romans 6:23
1 Corinthians 15:1-5
Romans 10:6-13
Galatians 1:6-9

Jesus is God's only begotten son born of the virgin Mary. He was sent by God to live a perfect life and then die on our behalf of our sin. Three days after Jesus was crucified and buried He came back to life and resurrected from the grave. He did this so that we may die to our sins and have new life in Him. All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. The wages of sin is death but the free gift of eternal life is in Jesus Christ. If we repent/turn away from our sins and turn to Jesus and put our whole faith and trust in Jesus Christ as the LORD and Savior of our life and confess with our mouth that He died and rose again, we will be saved. 



God is the One eternal God who is the Creator and Sustainer of the universe. He is the only God that exists. However, within the nature of this one God are three persons, or three centers of consciousness - the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three Persons are co-equal and co-eternal. They are also distinguishable or distinct from one another. These three distinct Persons are the one God. Everything that is true about God is true about the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
