SALVATION is dependent upon an acceptance of the truth "concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ" followed by baptism and obedience to the commandments of the Word (Acts 8:12). The things concerning the name of Jesus Christ comprehend all that is affirmable of him; and, is, therefore, the summary of his character as a prophet, sacrifice, priest and king. Hence, to understand "his name," we must know what is testified of him in the scriptures. In the Old Testament it us recorded prophetically; in the New Testament it is set forth historically. unfortunately, the truth concerning the person, sacrificial mission, and future glory of the Lord Jesus Christ has been obscured by doctrines that have distorted the facts concerning both the person and purpose. The propositions herein set down reveal the relationship of the Lord to his Father in heaven, as well as to mankind upon the earth, and therefore include vital truths concerning the Godhead, the nature of man, the hope of the gospel, man's relationship thereto and his future destiny. A careful consideration of the Bible references listed will enable the reader to discern truth from error.
