The Four Fold Gospel The CROSS: Christ Our Savior Jesus' death on a cross was the fulfillment of Old Testament law, which required blood atonement for sin. By His death and resurrection, we are redeemed from eternal separation from God, justified, made righteous, and accepted in His Name. Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to man by which we must be saved.

The Four Fold Gospel The LAVER: Christ Our Sanctifier The laver symbol represents the daily cleansing from sin by the power of the Holy Spirit.

The Four Fold Gospel Sanctification means separation – Separation from sin: “But just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: ‘Be holy, because I am holy.’” 1 Peter 1: – Separation to God: “(He) has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve His God and Father…” Revelation 1:6.

The Four Fold Gospel The PITCHER: Christ Our Healer This symbol represents a pitcher containing oil to anoint the sick for healing that comes through obedience to God's Word. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up (James 5:15).
